On July 1, 1862, Emperor Alexander II approved the "Regulations on the Moscow Public Museum and the Rumyantsev Museum." In Soviet times, a public library was separated from this museum institution, which became the main one in the USSR (today the Russian State Library). Today, the volume of its funds is more than 48 million units of storage. The RSL is considered one of the largest library institutions in the world.
