The album shows in detail the childhood and youth of the future Tsar and Tsarina. It notes the important state and church affairs in which they participated. It reveals the beauty of their family relationships and parenting. There is a lot of material about each individual member of the Royal Family. This can help form an objective image of the character and life of these great people.
There are special materials about loyal servants who followed the Royal Martyrs into exile with courage and fidelity. They shared their suffering and set an example of worthy service to God, the Fatherland, and loyalty to the oath and honor.
Several stands tell about the Via Crucis of the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, the Holy Martyr Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna, and the Alapaev martyrs.
The exposition ends with the stands related to the Via Crucis of the Royal Family. This is the period from the abdication of Nicholas II to their execution on July 17, 1918, in Yekaterinburg.
