BEFORE 1917:
In contrast to other European capitals, Moscow had no city hall until the establishment of zemstvo in the late 19th century. In the 1880s, when Red Square and the neighbourhood were being overhauled in the Neo-Russian style, the Moscow City Duma decided to commission an impressive building for its headquarters.
Building work was begun three years later, with some remains of the early 18th-century Kitai-gorod Mint incorporated into the new structure. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the duma was disbanded and the large building was handed over to the Lenin Museum. As a consequence of this decision, opulent pre-revolutionary halls were either plastered or painted over, so as not to distract the visitor's attention from personal effects of the deceased Communist leader exhibited there.
Following the fall of Communism, the Moscow City Duma was reinstated but preferred to keep its headquarters in a modest building of the former Moscow Soviet on Petrovka Street. The pre-revolutionary city hall is currently employed to exhibit vast collections of the State Historical Museum. Leave a Comment

The exhibition starts where that of the History Museum ends, with pre-revolutionary Russia and ends with the situation of the country nowadays. There loads of interesting exhibits labelled only in Russian. At the entrance of each hall you can take leaflets in English with detailed explications. If you collect them all, you'll have a summary of Russia's history in the last hundred or so years.
The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm and admission is 150 Roubles. Leave a Comment Address: Tverskaya ul. 21Phone: 299 6724Directions: Metro: Tverskaya/Pushkinskaya/Chekhovskaya

The Kremlin is home to some fascinating cathedrals, museums and monuments. Next to the Ivan the Great Bell Tower sits the Tsar Bell. It is the world's largest bell, a 200 tonne monster that never rang. In a 1701 fire, an earlier 130 tonne version fell and shattered. The bell was later cast and repaired and while the bell was cooling off in the casting pit it came into contact with water causing a 11 tonne chunk to chip off. It is interesting to see and the size is evident when you get a photo next to it. The Tsar Cannon north of the bell tower has never been shot. It is only for sure but makes for some cool photos. The Armoury in the southwestern corner of the Kremlin is an amazing collection of treasures accumulated over the centuries by the Russian State and Church. It has the renowned Easter Eggs made from precious metals and jewels by St. Petersburg jewellers, Faberge. There is a 800 diamond throne of Tsar Alexey(Peter's father); and the coronation dresses of the 18th century empresses.The State History Museum at the northern end of the Red Square has an enormous collection covering the whole Russian Empire. The building, dating from the 1800s is an attraction-each room is in the style of the era and some of them are highly decorated with the old Russian church style. Leave a Comment Address: Southwestern area of the SquareDirections: Take a left in the park after the soldier monument up the ramp and you will be inside the Kremlin.

Three floors of educational materials and displays of zoology and latest evolution theories.
the first floor has history exhibits and honors many scientists. 2nd floor has many stuffed specimens, and their floor has many exhibits on human evolution.
Among the specimens there are probably 40 types of foxes, all with different fur. Now we understand why there are so many types of fur coats in Russia!
The human evolution displays for neandertal and paleolithic cultures are interesting including skulls, scuptured features and habitat displays. Some of the recreated heads remind one of Shrek or Gollum form the movies :) And others remind us of people we know ...

 Present for 70th Birthday

Pushkin is loved by all the Russians, like Cervantes in Spain, Victor Hugo in France or Shakespeare in England.
In this nice museum you will see his books, paintings from the XVIII century, old furniture, etc.
It is on an old house in a style called Empire.
I also saw the house of Pushkin in Saint Petersburg, and I have to recognize that was better than the Moscow one. Anyway, if you do not go to Saint Petersburg, at least have a look at this Pushkin Museum.
Everybody pays the same price. Leave a Comment Address: Prechesenka ulitsa 12/2
