British collector of Russian art saves Málaga museum from possible closure

Jenny Green offers to exhibit her private collection at Museo Ruso, a Russian art museum

A Russian art museum in Malaga has been saved from possible closure by a British enthusiast after she offered to exhibit her private collection of 76 works by Russian artists.

The works, dating from 1876 to 1980, belong to Jenny Green, who began collecting Russian art 20 years ago. In the 1960s Green was one of a group of people behind Granny Takes a Trip, the trend-setting Kings Road boutique in London.
