Unknown Fabergé

As goldsmith to the czars and Russian nobility, Peter Carl Fabergé and his artisans created sumptuous bejeweled bibelots that continue to dazzle collectors. More than 50, on loan from private collections, are featured in this show that opened last weekend, including enameled cuff links that belonged to Nicholas II and table ornaments associated with the imperial family. Pictured is a silver and palisander bell push that once adorned a tea table in Nicholas' summer palace. (10 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat., 1-5 p.m. Sun. Ends Feb. 26. $9 adults. Museum of Russian Art, 5500 Stevens Av. S., Mpls. 612-821-9045, tmora.org)
