[5] Mihail Chemiakin chose the purpose of his personal museum — the analysis of the forms of artists of different cultures and eras to find their original source.
For example, he came to the conclusion that Christian iconography St. Lazarus and the ancient Egyptian mummy are the primary sources of a large number of works of art using the image of swaddling, bandaging and wrapping.
As the project expanded into hundreds of topics over several decades, it became clear that the research that Mihail Chemiakin looked at as a creative method has scientific potential for specialists in different fields.
"Mihail Chemiakin's Musée Imaginaire" — 60 years of research on the transformation of images and symbols in art in their semantic variability and psychological dynamics.
[6] Since 2007, the materials of the "Musée Imaginaire" have been located in France, in the Chateau de Chamousseau, where Mihail Chemiakin continues to replenish the collection and his analytical work.
