In the first hall the exposition devoted to the Yalta conference of 1945 is exposed. Three heads of the states of the coalition - Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin are presented sitting in armchairs as on the well-known photo. Quality of wax figures is very high. The guide has paid our attention to eyes of figures. They really look as alive. Eyes were made in the best Russian eye clinic.
In the second hall the family of the last Russian Emperor Nikolay II is presented. The Emperor sits on a distance. His spouse Alexandra Fiodorovna, four daughters - Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, and also the successor of the throne Alexei are presented together as in the known photo of the august family. At the distance there is the figure of ominous Gregory Rasputin. The excursion is accompanied by a soundtrack of parade of imperial armies on which only one phrase of emperor Nikolay was kept. An orchestra plays. You may hear a song by Janna Bichevskaya which she sing accompanied a guitar.
The composition makes very strong impression.
Entrance fee 15 grivnas ($3). You can get the Museum just from the Souvenir shop, which you can't miss departing the Livadia Palace Museum.
