In 1996, People's Artist of the USSR, Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts A.M. Shilov, turned to the Russian Federation's State Duma with a proposal to donate more than 350 of his best robots to the Fatherland. His gift was accepted.

In 2010, after restoration, new halls were opened for the first time in house No. 7. The gallery annually hosts exhibitions of new author's robots donated to Russia.
