2. The Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow

Lavrushinsky Lane in Moscow became famous only because the Russian merchant, millionaire and philanthropist Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov built a special building for his collection of paintings here. It formed the basis of one of the largest art collections in the world. The Tretyakov Gallery continues to preserve, explore, and popularize Russian art, thereby forming our cultural identity.

The first canvases of the future Tretyakov collection were acquired in 1856. A decade later, the gallery was opened to the public, and in 1892 the owner donated it to Moscow along with the building. In the first years of the 20th century, the facade was rebuilt according to Vasnetsov’s sketch.

Employees of the Tretyakov Gallery are always jealous of their duties. After the maniac stabbed Repin's picture with a knife, the gallery keeper found himself guilty of this incident and rushed under the train.

After the revolution, the collection was nationalized, the building was repeatedly completed and rebuilt, and the building of the closed church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachy was annexed to it. During the war, paintings and statues were evacuated to Siberia, combined in 1985 with the State Picture Gallery on Krymsky Val, the main exposition was moved there, and the main building was restored for 11 years. A new building for the Tretyakov Gallery on Kadashevskaya Embankment is under construction now.

3. Museum-Estate "Lefortovo" in Moscow

Previously, on the site of Lefortovo, there was a settlement with foreigners who settled here after the Livonian War. This settlement on the bank of Yauza was plundered by the Poles during the reign of False Dmitry II. Gradually, it was here that something like the “embassy” suburb of Moscow was formed.

The creation of a landscape gardening ensemble began in the 18th century. All construction was concentrated in the hands of Fedor Alekseevich Golovin. Thanks to his efforts, the Lefortovo Park was created, which resembles the famous Versailles ensemble. Since that time, alleys and ponds have been preserved, as well as a 20th century arbor in the style of classicism. And already Paul I, who came to the throne in 1796, gave the look of Lefortovo a military parade style.

Now the Lefortovo estate is a place where residents and guests of the capital can attend interesting educational lectures. The presenters will be happy to tell their listeners about the stages of the emergence and subsequent development of the Lefortovo palace and park ensemble, the reigns of Peter I and Empress Elizaveta Petrovna, the charity mission of Lefort himself and his entourage, the history of the emergence and disbandment of the Moscow Cadet Corps, the birth of the Russian Navy and many other fascinating topics relating to the history of Russia.

4. Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin in Moscow

State Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin is a museum complex possessing one of the largest art collections in Russia of foreign art, storing artifacts created by masters of different eras - from Ancient Egypt and ancient Greece to the present day.

The date of foundation of the Museum of Fine Arts is considered to be on August 17 (29), 1898. On this day in Moscow, in the former Kolymazhny dvor, near to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior on Volkhonka, a new museum, founded with public funds, was laid. This event was preceded by years of intense work by its founder, professor at Moscow University Ivan Vladimirovich Tsvetaev (1847-1913), as well as a group of Moscow and St. Petersburg scientists.

The new museum was conceived primarily as a university training center; its foundation was composed of plaster reproductions (casts) of sculptural originals. Plaster castings were made by the largest firms of the time; many were made specifically by the order of I.V. Tsvetaev. Fourteen years later, in May 1912, the museum was opened to the sound of a solemn cantata, specially written for this event. The collection of casts was replenished with magnificent collections of genuine works of art. This is a collection of ancient Egyptian monuments (about 6,000 items) that the Petersburg orientalist V.S. Golenishchev gathered during his travels in Egypt, and works of Italian artists of the XII-XIV centuries from the collection of M.S. Shchekin.

The museum finally became the collection of originals in the second half of the 1920s and 1930s, when an art gallery emerged as a result of the redistribution of the museum funds of the country. It combined the works of foreign artists from the former Rumyantsev Museum, the collections of S.M. Tretyakov, Yusupov, Shuvalovs, G.A. Brokar, D.I. Shchukin and other collectors. These were paintings by Dutch and German masters, 17th century Flemish and Spanish painters, 13th-17th century Italian artists, and 19th-century French authors. However, revenues from the State Hermitage Museum were crucial for the formation of the art gallery. From there, the works of the largest European painters — Botticelli, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens, Poussin, Murillo, Canaletto — came to Moscow.

The museum organizes visiting exhibitions that have been successfully demonstrated at world and national cat shows.

The organizers of the museum space are real popularizers of the “cat business” - they hold cat shows, film shows and fashion shows, song contests and art auctions. The main hero of these events is a cat. The whole world of this institution revolves around it.

In ancient Russia, the cat was the subject of prestige and luxury - only rich people could keep it. Animals multiplied well and gradually mastered in the expanses of the country. The Russians loved cats, even Gilyarovsky, describing the markets of Moscow, said that fat cats sat on the shelves, and merchants organized competitions - whose cat is thicker. In Russian homes it is still the opinion that the dog is the mistress of the yard, and the cat is at home. A flexible and elegant cat is associated by the Slavs with the feminine. On a sufficiently large number of pictures, the cat underlines female beauty. Its images are found in the Egyptian pyramids, in cave paintings, in the Bible. The cat was built into a cult and was considered protector from evil spirits. The animal was first allowed into a new house, it was considered a great sin to kill it.

A telephone booth of the 60s was also installed here, where, according to the writer's plan, there lived a “beast unknown to science” Cheburashka.

The collection of an unusual museum consisted of children's drawings, crafts, soft toys, dedicated to the beloved fairy tales of Uspensky. Of particular value is the typewriter of the children's writer stored in the museum, on which the famous fairy tale was created.

The Cheburashka Museum is one of the smallest in Moscow. It occupies two rooms. The first part of the exhibition is actually placed in an old telephone booth.

22.  Stalin's Bunker in Moscow

The “Bunker 42” Museum of the Cold War is a unique tourist site, unique in its kind and unparalleled in the world. The facility is located in the very center of Moscow deep underground.

The construction of the bunker began in 1951 due to the imminent threat of a nuclear war with the United States. During the construction of the underground complex, the same equipment and technology was used as in the construction of the subway.

Already in 1956, the object of about 7 thousand square meters was completed. The bunker housed: a reserve command post of the long-range aviation headquarters, a radio studio, a central telegraph office, a geodesic laboratory, and so on. The staff of workers was more than 2.5 thousand people.

By the mid-70s, it was decided to reconstruct the object. The reason for this was the numerous technical problems: non-automatic drives of hermetic doors, insufficient waterproofing, physical and moral obsolescence of ventilation systems and diesel generators. However, plans were not allowed to materialize. Due to the lack of funding, the bunker gradually became unusable, and in 1995, after the confiscation of secret equipment, the object was completely declassified.

27. Memorial Museum-Apartment of A.S. Pushkin on the Arbat in Moscow

In one of the oldest buildings of the Arbat, built immediately after the fire of 1812, where Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin did not spend even six months, today there is a poet’s memorial apartment. The chambers of the 18th century, which belonged to the noble Khitrovo family in 1806, were rebuilt in 1815 into a two-storey mansion with a triangular pediment and aired ground floor walls - typical attributes of the Alexander I era.

It was this house on Arbat that the poet rented on the eve of the wedding. Here was his bachelor party, attended by his closest friends. Immediately after the wedding on February 18, 1831, Alexander Sergeevich brought here his young wife, Natalya Nikolaevna Goncharova. However, the Pushkins lived on the Arbat not for long. Already in May, they moved to a cottage in Tsarskoye Selo, near to St. Petersburg.

Exactly 155 years after the wedding of Pushkin, a memorial museum was opened in the house. The first floor of the house is occupied by the exposition “A. S. Pushkin and Moscow”. Engravings, watercolors and authentic nineteenth-century household items tell how strongly the work and the fate of the poet were associated with Moscow. A special place is occupied by books, almanacs, periodicals, as well as lifetime editions of the poet of the Moscow period. In the rooms on the second floor the interior of the apartment was reconstructed, in which Pushkins lived for three months: solemn halls with parquet floors, heavy curtains, and bronze-crystal chandeliers.

Part of the exhibition, located in the closets in the lobby of the first floor, are gifts to the museum, among them illustrations to the works of the poet, portraits of his acquaintances, objects of decorative and applied art.

28. Museum "English Compound" in Moscow

The name of the mansion in the center of Moscow, a vivid example of ancient Russian architecture, is due to the fact that, since 1556, for a long time it was owned by the diplomatic representation of England. There were receptions, Russian and English merchants met, the treasury and goods were kept.

The mansion was built at the end of the XV century at the expense of the merchant Ivan Bobrishchev. After the English the House changed many owners. The change of owners did not contribute to the preservation of the original appearance of the building. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the building had completely lost its former beauty and splendor. Only in the 60s – 70s of the 20th century, with the participation of Peter Baranovsky, a full restoration was carried out, the excellent results of which were estimated by the Queen of Great Britain Elizabeth II herself during her visit to Moscow.

In one of the rooms of the museum, the State Chamber of the Court was restored, where the atmosphere of a medieval house is felt. The expositions are made up of materials from the archive, telling about the Russian-British state and trade relations of the XVI-XVII centuries, graphics, photographic materials, as well as finds made by archaeologists in Zaryadye.

In addition to excursion work, the museum staff organizes events in the framework of exclusive museum programs, including, for example, dramatized and costumed excursions, interactive games for children and adults, “Birthday at the museum”. And in the main hall of the Old English Court, as the echo of past centuries, sounds of old chamber music.

29. Museum of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow

The Museum of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences receives visitors by prior arrangement or during events in the "open day" format.

The museum contains various developments of Soviet and Russian scientists in the field of cosmonautics, some of them took part in scientific research and visited space - for example, a balloon probe, which was used in the 80s to study the atmosphere of Venus, or the camera, which was used to shoot comet Halley, also in the mid-80s.

However, some developments that have become exhibits of the museum have never been to space. Such a fate befell, for example, the “mechanical arm” created for the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft. It was assumed that with the help of this manipulator, soil will be fenced on Phobos - the satellite of the "red planet" Mars.

In addition to the instruments, the museum also presents models of the spacecraft “Regatta”, equipped with a solar sail, and one of the autonomous stations of the interplanetary station Mars-96, launched in 1996 to study Mars. This project failed because the station collapsed five hours after launch.

One of the exhibitions of the museum, which meets visitors at the entrance, helps to present and appreciate the scale of the universe. These are several stands with images made with varying degrees of distance from the Earth.

The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences is the main scientific institution that conducts research in the field of space and is engaged in the development and testing of scientific equipment complexes.

31. The Mikhail Bulgakov Museum in Moscow

Known by the novel “The Master and Margarita” the “bad” apartment number 50 in the house 302 bis at Bolshaya Sadovaya, in which Woland lived, has its prototype. This is the apartment of Mikhail Bulgakov himself on Bolshaya Sadovaya, 10.

In our time, “Bad Apartment” works like a Bulgakov museum. This is a former communal apartment with a long corridor and rooms on both sides, each of which is unique. “First Moscow Cabinet”, “Blue Cabinet”, “Editorial Office”, “Kitchen” - all these are expositions reflecting the life of Bulgakov in the years of his residence at Bolshaya Sadovaya. The writer's workplace is a table with a lamp over which a bookshelf hangs with sphinxes supporting it from below. Many books immediately struck the eye,Mikhail Afanasyevich harbored an extraordinary passion to them, atypical even for a writer.

The Blue Cabinet became the embodiment of Bulgakov’s long-time dream - he always dreamed of having a room with blue walls. For him, it was an ideal place to work, and therefore it was here that the most famous works of the writer appeared. Especially distinguished is a large mahogany secretary, located in the corner of the room, behind which the manuscript of The Master and Margarita was born.

The kitchen fully reflects the life of that era: kerosene containers, stoves, pots and other household items. And if you consider that this area was common, everything falls into place - here you can find anything.

32. Panorama Museum "Battle of Borodino" in Moscow

  The Panorama Museum "Battle of Borodino" is the only museum in Moscow, whose exposition is entirely devoted to the Patriotic War of 1812. The central exhibit of the museum is a panorama - a brilliant example of military history painting of the beginning of the 20th century, dedicated to one of the key moments of Russian history - the Battle of Borodino.

The idea of ​​writing a panorama "Borodino" arose on the eve of the centenary anniversary of victory. The author of the picture was the academician of painting Franz Rubo. The word "panorama" in translation from ancient Greek means "I see around." Panorama, combining the painting canvas, the subject plan and special lighting, has a great power of influence on the viewer. The length of the Borodino panorama is 115 m in circumference, and its height is 15 m. The canvas represents events that took place on the battlefield around noon on August 26 (September 7), 1812. The artist showed the height of the battle when "all the infantry, cavalry and artillery fought desperately "(M.I. Kutuzov).

The opening of the panorama took place in the wooden pavilion at Chistye Prudy on August 29, 1912. By 1918 the building became unusable, and the second life of the panorama began only in 1962, when a new building on Kutuzov Avenue was built at the 150th anniversary of the victory in the Patriotic War.

The museum was conceived to showcase a single exhibit, but the extensive collections of paintings, graphics, arts and crafts, equipment and weapons collected over the years made it possible to create a full-fledged exposition that reveals the main events of World War II.

Address: Kutuzov prospect, 38

33. Manor Lyublino in Moscow

The heyday of the Russian estates, including ones of the Moscow region, dates back to the end of the XVIII - the first half of the XIX century, when the special importance to the architecture and landscape design was given. Behind all this there was the image of the luxurious royal residences of the "northern capital" - St. Petersburg, and also the image of Versailles - the sovereign of the minds, the legislator of high artistic taste and lifestyle. In the first place, as in the French samples, ancient symbolism appeared which gave the nobleman a bright shine and high status.

Today, the Lyublino estate is an architectural and landscape monument of federal significance. The first information about this area refers to the end of the XVI - the beginning of the XVII century.

The central building, somewhat distant from the rest of the buildings, is the main manor house - the palace. Simultaneously with the manor's house, other manor buildings erected from bricks were built, in contrast to the buildings of most of the estates near to Moscow. Guests drove into the estate over the bridge, thrown across the pond.

Next to the palace there was a large complex of theater buildings, consisting of a theater, the house of the manager and a theater school building. The serf theater in Lublin created fame for its owner and at the beginning of the 19th century was one of the twenty largest serf theaters in Russia.

It is remarkable that almost all the historical buildings of the manor have been miraculously preserved to our time, albeit rebuilt in the 20th century. As in the XIX century, the compositional center of the manor ensemble is the main manor house-palace.

34. Central House of Aviation and Cosmonautics in Moscow

There is a place in Moscow where, in a light, understandable and fascinating form, anyone can join the two most important branches of science of the 21st century - aviation and astronautics. This is the Central House of Aviation and Cosmonautics DOSAAF - a museum, exhibition and educational center. Nine halls of the museum tell about the birth and formation of aeronautics in our country, about the first bold dreams of launching a man into space, about great scientists and revolutionary scientific developments - and, finally, about the flights of the past and present. Multimedia and other innovations have not yet touched the museum, but the exhibits, despite the lack of interactive, are very interesting. Here you can see the first artificial satellite of the Earth and the simulator of the “Buran” reusable spacecraft, find out what the pilots of World War II flew on, and understand the principle of operation of jet engines.

The Central House of Aviation and Cosmonautics occupies a two-storey mansion of the early 20th century across the road from Petrovsky Park. Before the revolution, a restaurant and a profitable house were located here, and later, with the formation of Society for the Promotion of Defense, Aviation and Chemical Construction in 1927, the building was transferred to the management of members of the public. Over time, the number of exhibits increased so much that the question of a permanent exhibition arose - and this is how the current museum was formed.

A visit to the museum begins with an inspection of the artifacts of the times of the birth of aeronautics and aviation, right up to the First World War. Models of balloons, airships and primitive airplanes - here there is everything that is connected with the first attempts of a man to get off the ground.

36. Museum of V.V. Mayakovsky in Moscow

Fans of Vladimir Mayakovsky and people who love to look at something new and unusual will love to visit this amazing museum. It is very likely that guests who do not favor the work of this poet will discover his rebellious world and will want to get acquainted with his poetry.

The Mayakovsky Museum was opened in 1938; the poet’s comrades led by Lilya Brik were the initiators of its creation. They began to promote the idea of ​​a museum exhibition immediately after the death of the poet. At first, the museum was located on Taganka, and in 1974 - at Lubyansky Proezd, Building 3. Here, in room No. 12, Mayakovsky lived with friends for nine years until his death.

In the 1980s, the exposition was completely renewed. But for all the time of the museum's work, the main goal was to preserve the creative heritage of Vladimir Mayakovsky. On the fifth floor of the building there are exhibits, which are not allowed visitors. There can only be present scientists who study the work of Mayakovsky.

The first thing that greets visitors at the entrance is a giant letter “I”. That was the name of the first collection of works by the avant-garde poet. And at the same time, this is nothing but the symbolic personification of the personality of the creator who wants to convey his thoughts and dreams to every reader.

The space inside the building is unique because of completely lack of any overlap between the floors. There is only a central staircase that leads to the fourth floor to the room where the great poet lived. The exhibits of the Mayakovsky Museum very much resemble the scenery from the theater. There are no museum windows with neatly laid out exhibits, everything around does not at all correspond to the generally accepted rules for the design of the museum.

At first you might think that confusion reigns here. But looking closer, you begin to understand, it’s just a symbolism that describes the complex creative world of Mayakovsky by his own means. His rebellious, successful experiments, trying to find the way to the new rules of versification, which will be in demand in the future - the designers of the museum exposition tried to express this with their unique design of the room.

The topic itself is limitless, and in fact only factories have existed for more than 150 years each, and each has its own unique experience, world-famous products, huge funds and the amount of materials that would be enough for not just one but a dozen museums.

The use of state-of-the-art multimedia should not have disturbed the elegant historicity of the topic.

The scale and seriousness of the excursions should not have caused boredom even among the youngest guests of the museum.

77. House-Museum of A.M. Gorky in Moscow

The Maxim Gorky Museum appeared in Moscow in the 60s. This is a mansion in which the writer's office is located, absolutely identical to the two exactly the same in St. Petersburg and in the Crimea. The idea of ​​having the same classroom belongs to the writer himself - he wanted to work in familiar surroundings, wherever he was. The authorities willingly met halfway and organized everything, as dreamed of a literary genius. The museum itself is unique in its exhibits and the architecture of the building.

The museum building of Maxim Gorky is the clearest representative of the Art Nouveau style. It was built by the famous architect Shekhtel, the mansion was designed for living of the wealthy people. The facade is lined with glazed brick; the walls are painted with flowers. The main staircase is called “melting” - it is made in the form of a stone wave, on the very crest of which an amazingly beautiful lamp is fixed. The ceiling in the room is decorated with a chandelier decorated under a jellyfish, and the door handles under the seahorses. The house has many elements of decor associated with the ocean. So it was not the writer who conceived, but the architect who built the house.

The main thing that the author brought to the mansion is a chapel and a library. The chapel is organized in the Old Believer style; the walls are decorated with paintings. To the Maxim Gorky Library, the epithet “posh” is most suitable. There are huge bookcases, sofas and armchairs in leather. The museum has a lot of expensive things for the writer. In the library there are the writer's favorite books, on the wall a canvas on a religious theme there is the Mother of God with Jesus.

These are personal items of the academician, a library of technical and fiction literature, books with inscriptions from authors, furniture, household items, and works of art. Everything that the museum has - from the accurate notes of the young student of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute in the 1920s to a notebook telling about the affairs and concerns of the chief designer in the last month of life - all this was transferred to the widow academician Nina Ivanovina Koroleva.

Sergey Korolev generated many extraordinary ideas and created outstanding design teams that worked on the development of rocket and space technology. His contribution to the evolution of manned spacecraft is difficult to overestimate. The man with a difficult fate, behind whom there were exiles, camps and prisons, did not break, developed his abilities and brought the country into the leaders of aerospace and rocket armament.

During his lifetime, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was the most secret scientist in the USSR. Few people knew what the outstanding designer of rocket and space technology, the author of the Soviet space program, and the flight director of the first cosmonaut of the planet, Yu. A. Gagarin, looked like. And, of course, no one knew where Korolev lived.

87. Museum "Underground printing house of 1905-1906" in Moscow

This is one of the most unusual museums in Moscow. It is located in the old district of the city in a three-story building - a typical example of a Moscow apartment building from the end of the 19th century. Here, in the days of the First Russian Revolution, there was a deeply conspiratorial illegal printing house, where revolutionary leaflets and a Social Democratic newspaper were published.

The museum has existed since 1924. It is a unique monument of the political history of Russia during the period of the first revolution of 1905-1907, the history of the illegal activities of the RSDLP (b). Its organizers were those who at one time created a secret printing house and worked in it. That is why the exposition with extraordinary accuracy reproduces all the details of the long gone past. The basis of the museum is the memorial complex of the underground printing house, which was covered by the shop “Trade in Caucasian fruits Kalandadze”. The typography itself is a cave dug in the ground, where there is an authentic printing machine - you can get there through a masked manhole from a well to drain groundwater.

The restored interior of the basement, from where there was the entrance to the printing house, looks like a warehouse of boxes of fruit and cheese, at the bottom of which there were stacks of illegal newspapers and leaflets. From the sales area with old shop windows, a counter and a desk you can get to the basement and residential premises, which served not only to disguise the secret life of the owners, but also a resting place for printers.

The underground printing house at Lesnaya was never discovered by the Tsarist police due to the high professionalism of the conspirators. The museum complex provides an opportunity to feel the spirit of that time, to present the conditions in which the underground workers worked. Much attention is paid to the disclosure of the socio-psychological portrait of the Russian revolutionary, a description of the security structure of the Russian Empire, and the methods of its work to prevent the "Russian turmoil".

91. Mineralogical Museum named after A.E. Fersman in Moscow

The history of the oldest in the country and one of the oldest in Europe Mineralogical Museum is closely connected with the development of mineralogy in Russia. The foundation of the museum was laid by the organization in 1716 of the Mineral Cabinet of the Kunstkamera in St. Petersburg. To do this, by order of Peter I in Danzig an extensive collection of minerals (1,195 samples) was acquired from the doctor of medicine Gottwald, with which the Kunstkamera Mineral Cabinet began its existence. This collection was supplemented with samples from Russian fields and since 1719 it has been exhibited to the public in St. Petersburg in the building of the Kikiny Chambers.

In 1725, the Academy of Sciences was established in St. Petersburg. The Kunstkamera became one of the institutions of the Academy; the Mineral Cabinet was transferred into the possession of the latter and grew up within its walls into a large scientific institution, subsequently the Mineralogical Museum. In 1836, the Mineralogical Museum stood out as an independent institution of the Academy of Sciences from the Mineral Cabinet.

The great merit in the development of the Museum in the Academy of Sciences as a scientific museum institution of a new type belongs to the mineralogist and geochemist, academician A.E. Fersman. Today the Mineralogical Museum named after it is one of the largest in the world. In total, the collections contain 135,000 samples of minerals from deposits in Russia and foreign countries. The main fund of the museum consists of 5 collections: a systematic collection of deposits, a collection of crystals, a collection of formations and transformations, a collection of ornamental and precious stones.

In one exhibition hall of 1200 sq. meters more than 20 thematic expositions are deployed. More than 12,000 exhibits - 1/12 of the museum are exhibited.

Taking into account the experience of European and American countries, where Jewish museums have become an integral part of the cultural landscape, as well as the traditions of the existence of Jewish collections in the Russian Empire and the early Soviet state, the new-born Museum sets itself the task of popularizing the history and culture of Russian Jewry, as well as preserving and studying the disappearing material heritage of Jewish communities.

The museum’s collection includes all Jewish religious and sub-ethnic groups - not only Eastern European Ashkenazi, but also Georgian, Highland and Bukhara Jews, as well as Karaites and Russian sectarians who converted to Judaism (Gera and Subotniki). The materials in the museum reflect the peculiarities of their life and culture, as well as the peculiarity of their historical development.

The phenomenon of Russian and Soviet Jewry is viewed in the context of its ties with Russian culture, society and state power. The museum’s collection also reflects the cultural and religious unity of Russian Jewry and the Jewish diaspora in other countries of Eastern Europe, which existed beyond local differences and state borders.

For adults, the tour is supplemented with information on the ways of the formation of the brewing industry.

The tour consists of two parts. It begins with a trip to the Old Russian outback - to the origins of brewing. This was made possible thanks to the collection of old homemade and brewing equipment. Here, the original utensils are carefully preserved, with the help of which our ancestors made “honey-beer”, which A.S. Pushkin himself drank, and “flew through his mustache and did not get into his mouth”.

Everything here is built on contrast. You have just been in an old peasant hut, but now the door opens and you immediately get into the XIX century. In the world of modern production, in the realm of stainless steel, huge cooking pots and fermentation tanks with an eight-story house in height. This is impressive! Huge exhibits are just on the street, and in the museum there are wooden barrels and mortars that were used in the production of kvass.

96.  Moscow Kremlin in Moscow

The Kremlin or Kremenets in Russia has long been called the stone fortress, reliably protecting from enemies from the West and the East. But only the Moscow Kremlin acquired the status of a sacred symbol, personifying the power of a great country. Behind its red-brick walls there are government buildings and a giant museum complex, where hundreds of thousands of artifacts tell about the history and culture of Russia. Archaeological work is not interrupted even for a day, revealing all the new secrets of the most extraordinary place of our country.

At the end of the 15th century, Tsar Ivan III launched a large-scale construction on Borovitsky Hill. The Italians were considered the best fortifiers of that time, so the sovereign invited the Milanese masters to build a fortress. And they did not shame the glory of their shop, having built not just a powerful defensive line, but also a complete architectural ensemble. None of the 20 towers is repeated, the walls are decorated with merlon-teeth with dovetail. Only hipped roofs appeared much later.

With the beginning of the reign of Peter the Great, the value of the Moscow Kremlin changed noticeably - the king moved first to Preobrazhenskoye and then to St. Petersburg, and the fortress lost its status as a permanent royal residence. At the beginning of the 18th century, the character of the Kremlin building changed: after the devastating fire of 1701, Peter issued a decree in 1704 prohibiting the construction of wooden buildings inside the Kremlin.

With the Soviet power rise to power, the capital was moved to Moscow, and the Kremlin again became a political center. In March 1918, the Soviet government headed by V. I. Lenin moved to the Kremlin. His residence and residence of the Soviet leaders were palaces and cavalry corps.

He put a yurt teacher in the courtyard of his favorite school number 1321 on Aviamotornaya Street and organized a Museum of nomadic culture here. But since he brought one yurt to Moscow, why stop there? Today, on the territory of the museum you can visit the homes of the Nenets and Khanty, Chukchi reindeer herders, Kyrgyz - only about a dozen yurts, tents and yarang. You can touch everything in the museum - there are no prohibitions. And at times they invite to games - to shoot from a bow, for example.

There are nomadic peoples on all inhabited continents. Over the years of their existence, they have accumulated a huge reservoir of knowledge, which for many of our contemporaries remains a terra incognita. Civilized people know little about this culture, and even fewer of them managed to come into direct contact with it. An excursion to the museum of nomadic peoples will help to fill this gap. Indians and Mongols, Chukchi and Kalmyks, Gypsies and Australian Aborigines - we are all very different, but we have a lot in common.

The purpose of the museum is to show to the Russians the distinctive life of the most ancient peoples, to acquaint them with their habitat and culture. Tours are conducted by an interactive method - by immersion in the domestic environment. Visitors can ride horses, treat themselves to national dishes, listen to folk music played on authentic instruments, and even learn new jokes from the life of a particular tribe.

Would you like to taste real Mongolian tea, treat yourself with baursaks and see the exposition? Come to the school yard. Just remember: do not walk counterclockwise, do not put your foot on the threshold, or you can inadvertently declare war. Guests can take photos in national clothes or buy books and CDs about nomads from different countries. You will be told about inter-ethnic relations between nations and their social orientation. The guest yurt is reserved for holding concert programs, conferences and seminars. On the territory of the museum there is a Buddhist temple. Visit the museum is by appointment.

The exhibits come from the most famous private collections of Grand Duke George Mikhailovich, Count Ivan Tolstoy, Count Emeric Von Gutten-Chapsky and others.

In December 2015, the founder of the museum, Vagit Alekperov, was awarded the Phoenix Prize of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation for assistance in preserving architectural monuments and their adaptation to modern use.

At first glance, the Museum of Childhood is not impressive at the scale of the exposition - it seems that in a small cave, the entrance to which is organized from one of the side stairs on the way to the observation deck, there is practically nothing to see, however, this is not quite true: a significant number of exhibits, among which there are quite interesting, are located on shop windows along the walls, so that it is convenient to move around the room even if it is chock full of visitors. As indicated on the store’s website, today the Museum’s collection includes more than 1,000 exhibits: toys, books, gramophone records, films and radio programs, as well as photographs.

In the halls of the literary exposition it is possible to understand how gradually the writer of "big" literature appeared from the author from the "minor press". It was here that Chekhov wrote the plays "Ivanov", "Leshy", vaudevilles "The Bear", "The Proposal", "The Wedding", the novels "The Steppe", "The Lights", and "A Boring Story".

131. “P.I. Tchaikovsky and Moscow” Museum in Moscow

Museum "P. I. Tchaikovsky and Moscow” was opened on May 18, 2007 in the building of the Cultural Center named after P.I. Tchaikovsky. Peter Ilyich lived from September 1872 to November 1873 in this miraculously preserved house, in an apartment that occupied half of the second floor of the outbuilding of a large old manor.

Moscow played a huge role in the life and work of Tchaikovsky. His creative individuality was formed precisely in the Moscow period. Here the composer found friends and like-minded people, whose attention, care and participation helped to overcome domestic difficulties and contributed to the flourishing of his musical talent. Moscow formed a genius who gained world fame. Tchaikovsky would later write about the Moscow period of his life: “There is no doubt that if fate had not pushed me to Moscow, where I had lived for more than 12 years, I would not have done what I did.”

The purpose of the exhibition is to reveal the two components of the life of a great artist: an active dialogue with the outside world and a focused inner life. The first section - “The World of Tchaikovsky” - concentrates on the personality of P. I. Tchaikovsky, his character, psychology, manifestations in everyday life, and communication with his relatives. The second section, “Tchaikovsky and the World”, is devoted to multidimensional (music, art, and public) contacts of Peter Ilyich with the outside world.

The exposition was based on authentic materials: historical documents; composer's personal belongings; photos of P. I. Tchaikovsky, his colleagues, friends and family members; engravings; lithography; graphics; drawings; friendly cartoon; letters. Guests of the exhibition have a unique opportunity to see the composer’s handwritten heritage: more than fifty autographs (“Eugene Onegin”, “The Queen of Spades”, etc.), scores, literary manuscripts. In the halls of the exhibition phonographic materials will sound.

For the first time, the composer’s creative process can be traced in such detail - from the concept of the work to its execution. Symphony No. 6, the last work that was performed during the life of P. I. Tchaikovsky, will appear to the close attention of the public.

Unusual sound and artistic design of the exhibition space create a complete image of the composer and leave the feeling of his personal presence.

179. “Field of Miracles” Museum in Moscow

For a long time the museum was just a gift warehouse; at the beginning of the 2000s, it took shape as an exhibition in one of the pavilions at the All-Russia Exhibition Center. But three years ago it turned out to be homeless: a large-scale reconstruction began at the All-Russia Exhibition Center-VDNH. However, Yakubovich never liked that option. He admitted that he was there once and there "everything was crowded and unloaded."

The exposition in Ostankino will change regularly - the foundation allows it. And you can look at the Fields of Wonders Museum in two ways: by signing up for a tour of the telecentre or by hitting the list of participants or spectators. And by the way, the first visitors to the exhibition were just those who came to record the show.

Not everything was put up in Ostankino either: it just didn’t fit. Here are mannequins in national costumes, portraits of Yakubovich, made by folk craftsmen, crafts, and a lot of dishes - also with images related to the "Field of Miracles". And of course, the first donated can of pickled cucumbers and a bottle of moonshine in the form of dummies, explained Yakubovich. Apparently, as a symbol of what is presented most often.

In general, items received as a gift expect a different fate. Icons, according to Yakubovich, are transferred to the temples. Sometimes he returns after filming what he was given; so, the cigarette case was returned to the Hero of the Soviet Union which saved him the life of a bullet. Military awards are usually returned.

The foundation of the High Petrovsky Monastery, which houses the church Museum of the bells, dates back to 1325. It was founded during the transfer of the metropolitan department from Kiev to Moscow and consecrated by the Metropolitan of Kiev and All Russia Peter.

The Museum of Bells, which is open at the spiritual center, along with the Valdai Museum, is one of the most complete collections of bells in Russia.

The first bells, which archaeologists found in ancient excavations, refer to 860 BC. Ancient Nineveh is considered the birthplace of the bells - it was there that the most ancient finds were found. Bell strikes have long signified a person’s call for action. From cleaning the streets in Germany and distributing bread in Italy, the bell gradually moved into the category of obligatory attributes during Christian worship services. The first mention of this relates to the years 353-431 and is attributed to the bishop of Nolansky.

In Russia, the bells were in a special honor - they, like living beings, were given their own names. Any Russian knows the Tsar Bell from the Moscow Kremlin. Polyelei, Sysoy, and the Swan from the Rostov Kremlin used no less honor. Not without curiosities - the bell "Uglich" was once sent to exile. You will learn about all these stories during the tour.

The museum presents church bells dated XVII-XXI centuries. Visitors can hear in the recording the canonical ringing from the “golden fund” of the church and the present - the active bell from the bell tower of the oldest Vysokopetrovsky monastery in the city. Here is a large amount of illustrated material about bells - from their manufacture to the subtleties in the training of bell-ringers. Bells are purchased worldwide and are classified in parts of the world: Europe and America, Russia and the CIS, Asia, Australia, Africa, etc. The collection includes bells made of porcelain and glass, copper and wood, amber and yarn, cardboard and wire, alpax and bamboo.

One of the museum zones is devoted to the initial stage of the company's development. There is a stylized pharmacy of John Stith Pemberton, the inventor of the recipe for the drink, a former officer of the confederation army. It happened on May 8, 1886 - since then, a small production turned into a giant transnational corporation, and the drink became known to the whole world. Next to the testimony of antiquity is a large plasma screen - there are broadcast stories related to the company. Did you know that Santa Claus, known to us, in his red and white outfit, was commissioned by Coca-Cola in the 1930s? Did you know that the Coca-Cola figurative inscription has remained unchanged since 1859 - it was then that Frank Robinson, John Stith's accountant, invented and wrote it.

The main exhibit of the eco zone is a model of the Moscow plant, made on a scale of 1: 220. It is made so realistic that all technological lines and workshops are viewed. Very few people are employed directly in production, almost all processes are automated. As in all their museums created around the world, the organizers strive to draw attention to the environmental friendliness of the Coca-Cola preparation process and the rational use of water resources. After getting acquainted with the production, the guests are shown the best films of the company. Having settled down on a sports type of seats, guests will see a volume map with the applied Russian factories. The latest technological innovations are used in the museum - 3D images appear in the process of the excursion, the screen plays the role of a huge iPad - the guide manages them with the help of a touchscreen.

Guests enjoy being photographed against the backdrop of a huge bottle of Coca-Cola - it is located in one of the halls. A container for a drink is a special pride of the museum. The exposition contains painted bottles, on which Karl Lagerfeld and Jean-Paul Gautier worked, there are containers made at the Imperial Porcelain Factory. The honorable place in the museum is reserved for a special prize - the plant in Novoperedelkino received it from the concern, as the world's best enterprise of the company in 2011.

201. Museum of Slavic Culture named after Konstantin Vasilyev in Moscow

Not often in the history of our Fatherland, painting, unlike literature and music, gave birth to a spiritual leader, it was not often the artist’s brush that so excited the Russian person. The magnetism of K.Vasilyev’s paintings for a long time does not let the viewer go, awakens genetic memory, carrying it through a layer of temporary layers in the forgotten era of the youth of our people. The scale of the artist’s personality did not allow him to simply display historical facts; he was attracted by mythology, a mystery that he must unravel. Each canvas of the mythological genre created by him is a complete image-symbol. That intimate that each person can carry in himself all his life, but is not able to express. And suddenly this hidden in the depths of the subconscious is painted on the canvases of the master! Perhaps it is precisely such an exact hit in the image that shakes the viewer so much, draws again and again to his paintings.

The Grand opening of the Konstantin Vasilyev Museum took place on October 6, 1998. It can rightly be considered popular. By a penny, a tear, the desire of thousands of Vasiliev’s painting admirers to preserve paintings and create a folk art gallery was compressed.

The museum of creativity of Konstantin Vasilyev has now been transformed into the Center for Slavic Culture named after Konstantin Vasilyev. The museum’s exposition is based on the works of Konstantin - “Here the Russian Spirit, here it smells of Russia ..”. Permanent exhibition “Primordial Russia” - paintings by Vsevolod Ivanov, Nella Genkina, Andrei Klimenko, Viktor Korolkov, stone sculpture by Viktor Goncharov.

206. Modern Museum of Sports in Moscow

The   Modern Sports Museum was established by the Dialogue-Conversion Association on April 6, 2004. The main task of the museum is to collect, preserve and exhibit evidence of the glorious history of Russian sport, reporting to future generations the names and biographies of people who have dedicated themselves to physical culture and sport, who have shown the best human qualities and brought glory to the Fatherland.

The first President of the Museum's Board of Trustees was a three-time Olympic champion, ten-time world champion Alexander Pavlovich Ragulin. The most active part in the formation of the first collections was taken by Valentina Ivanovna Makarova, the responsible secretary of the CSKA Sports Veterans Council. The first heroes of the exposition were famous army and Spartak athletes and coaches.

The main advantage of the museum is the principle of forming museum funds, their virtuality. Exhibitors can not part with their sports relics to place them in the halls of our museum. Digital copies of unique awards, prizes, photographs and documents fully reflect the sports and life path of their owners, which can hardly be achieved in any physical exposition. Another significant advantage of the Internet museum is its availability and attractiveness for the younger generation around the world.

Since its inception, the Modern Museum of Sport has been engaged in exhibition activities. Cooperation with sports veterans, collectors and museums, as well as the use of our own funds allows to create unique exhibition expositions devoted to significant events in our sports history.

207. Museum of Travel and Pilgrimage to Holy Places in Moscow

The word "pilgrim" originally sounded like "palm tree" - that is, carrying the palm branch as a symbol of its communion with God and a great wonder for the northern countries. The first pilgrim was Queen Helena, who visited Jerusalem in 326 in search of the burial place of Christ. Since then, the kings and ordinary people who wanted to join closer to God went on pilgrimage.

The museum of travel and pilgrimage to the holy places in Moscow is the only one of its kind dedicated to pilgrimage. It settled on the Krutitsky Patriarch Compound, where, upon legend, the archpriest Avvakum was imprisoned. The museum exhibits tell the journey of our ancestors to the Holy Land, where the Holy Sepulcher is located. Visitors can touch the shrines brought by pilgrims from different countries. The museum exhibits rare exhibits such as a bottle with the inscription “Water from the holy spring of St. Seraphim of Sarov” in 1903, a bottle of holy oil consecrated on the relics of the Great Martyr Panteleimon in 1872, the Blessed Elder Siluan of Athos and many other relics.

208. Soil-Agronomy Museum named after V.R. Williams in Moscow

The formation of the collection began in the 80s of the XIX century by V.R. Williams and then by his many students.

In the center of the hall there is a diagram of the development of vegetation on the earth’s surface over geological periods. The second hall is devoted to the soils of the tundra, the taiga-forest zone and the northern part of the forest-steppe. The third one contains the richest collection of black earth, chestnut, brown soils, gray earth and red soil. A collection of buried soil is unique. In the fourth hall the soils of foreign countries are exhibited. These materials provide a visual representation of the richness and diversity of soils on the planet.

209. House-Museum of Alexei Diky in Moscow

In the middle of the 19th century, an honorary citizen, commerce adviser A.L. Torletsky (Terletsky), a contractor in the construction of the Nikolaev railway acquired Gireyevo near Moscow. By the beginning of the twentieth century the financial situation of the Torletskys was shaken, and Alexander Longinovich's great-grandson, Alexander Ivanovich, decided to arrange a dacha settlement in part of his extensive possession to amend his family status. Yu.A. Bakhrushin recalled: “The young master cut glades in the century-old forest, overtook carpenters and began to build dachas in a hurry ... The old manor’s estate began to quickly turn into a dacha near Moscow.”

The dachavillage was named Novoe Gireyevo or Novogireevo. The grand opening took place on June 15, 1908. According to newspapers, "it was the most perfect village in the suburbs." There was built a power plant on liquid fuel and electricity was carried. Fire station was arranged. An artesian well was drilled, water supply and a water tower were built, a post office, a telegraph office, a telephone exchange, a savings bank, its own security, and even a police station appeared. In addition to summer cottages, there were built cottages for permanent residence. From the station "Kuskovo" (and later - from the specially built station "Novogireevo") to the village went bobtail car.

Nowadays, only the layout of streets and avenues and a couple of old buildings have been preserved from Novogireev Torletsky. One of them - on the street Alexei Wild. In 1910, a small log house at the corner of the then Princely and Alexander Avenue was bought by the mother of the future famous actor and director A.D. Dikogo Anna Vasilyevna. Nowadays, this house looks unexpectedly surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. Alexey Denisovich was very fond of his estate, which he called "Gireyevka".

He was born in Yekaterinoslav (now Dnepropetrovsk). Since childhood, seeing his vocation in the theater, in 1909 he moved to Moscow and a year later was accepted to the Moscow Art Theater. In 1931 he founded his own theater – Diky Studio. In 1936, the theater was closed, and Alexei Denisovich was arrested. He received a relatively "soft" for those times - 5 years of camps. After the release he mostly starred in the movie. In his record of the role there is Kutuzov, Nakhimov and ... Stalin. He died in 1955.

For some time in the house Museum opened on a voluntary basis by the writer B.V. Smirensky acted.

The main one is the collection of bicycles, in which more than 200 copies of 1870-1970 are presented, of which 62 are ready for the exposition (they are preserved in their original condition or restored). Of particular interest are cars made in pre-revolutionary Russia and the USSR. The collection of bicycle accessories (lamps, calls, license plates, tools, etc.) perfectly complements the cycle collection and clearly illustrates the evolution of this kind of technology.

The main information "weight" has a "paper" part of the collection. It consists of a library with more than 1,000 storage units (books, brochures, magazines from 1880–1970 on cycling), an extensive collection of brochures and catalogs of cycling companies, a collection of documents related to cycling, and a photo archive (more than 5,000 unique photographs and negatives of 1875-1980). The extensive library and photographic archive have no analogues both in the territory of the former USSR and in Europe.

The study of these sources provides an opportunity to get the most complete picture of the development of cycling in the country.

In parallel with the studies, restoration and furnishing of the exhibits are being carried out - now more than 10 bicycles and other objects are in operation. Work on the search and acquisition of exhibits does not stop with the founding of the collection.

The goal of all these diverse activities is the creation in Moscow of the All-Russian Velomuseum with a research and restoration center. The main problem on this path is the lack of space for the museum and an acute shortage of funding for research and restoration activities.

214. Museum of Outsider Art in Moscow

The work of outsiders is an unusual artistic phenomenon that has attracted considerable interest all over the world for more than half a century. In Russia, the first collection of outsider works was presented at the end of the 1980s in the Humanitarian Center, and in 1996, a museum with a permanent exhibition was opened on its basis.

Abroad, the work of outsiders is called “art brut” (“raw” art). This style includes works of people for whom painting and drawing are not a profession, but a spontaneous way of expressing emotions, a kind of splashing out on paper or canvas of the “stream of consciousness”, disturbing or joyful thoughts, memories and ideas about the world. As a rule, these people do not have artistic education and do not try to follow any cultural tradition. They create their work for themselves and their surroundings, without pursuing commercial goals. But this is what makes their work extremely touching and sincere.

Artists of "art brut" are refered to the so-called outsiders - people standing outside the official social system. These are people with subtle mental organization and a peculiar perception of the world, which in society are called "eccentrics", people with disabilities who do not have the opportunity to fully adapt to society, as well as certain categories of mentally ill - for example, autists. In the past, it was believed that the unusual creativity of such individuals has no artistic or commercial value, but over time, art historians have recognized that it is of considerable interest to universal culture as an example of an alternative, deprived of social clichés view of our world. Currently, exhibitions of outsider works are held with great success in different countries of the world, and the Moscow Museum takes part in international events.

The museum exposition is represented by several thematic sections. In one of them works of mentally ill people and artists "with eccentricities" are collected. The rest belong to the category of "new fiction," this is the work of people with emotional disabilities and representatives of "naive art." In the museum you can see unique collections in the genre of psychopathological expression of the 20s and 50s of the twentieth century, the work of foreign outsider artists. This is not only paintings, but also graphics, applied art, various installations. Qualified guides will tell visitors about how art brut has been opened and recognized in the world, will tell interesting facts about artists of this unusual genre in different countries of the world, will acquaint outsiders with the history of the creation of the Moscow Museum.

The village of Peredelkino near to Moscow is forever associated with the name of the poet Boris Leonidovich Pasternak (1890–1960). Here he lived since 1936, first occupying a large dacha, and in 1939 he moved to a smaller house. It was in this house that he learned that on October 23, 1958 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. As is known, his world fame turned into the most severe persecution in his homeland.

Pasternak died on May 30, 1960, in a small room, "grand piano one", as it was called, and was buried in the local cemetery. For many years the family did everything to preserve the house and atmosphere in the form in which it was during his life. Despite the constant pilgrimage of admirers, the authorities did not allow the creation of a poet’s memorial museum at the dacha. It was only in February 1990, the day of Pasternak’s widely celebrated century that a memorial exposition and a branch of the State Literary Museum were opened there.

The famous "miracle tree" can be seen in the garden next to the house.

Children have always been the most welcome guests in the house of Chukovsky. He collected children from all of Peredelkino — he read his works to them, played with them, led conversations. The campfire site has been preserved on the territory of the museum, and traditionally the "Bonfires" are held here in the fall and spring, as it was in the days of the writer.
