Me and my travel mate visited Stolby with a local guide named Pawel in the Winter. The nature is just amazing and very fascinating rock formations. The Stolby it's a must see when you are in Krasnoyarks. Its just a 20 min bus ride away from the city.

The historical and ethnographical museum-reserve “Shushenskoye” is the only memorial open air complex in the Krasnoyarsk territory. The central part of the old village Shushenskoye of the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries is represented on the territory of the museum. Also the exact copies of the monuments of wooden architecture of the northern and southern parts of the Krasnoyarsk territory are reconstructed. Altogether 35 peasants’ houses with outbuildings are represented. In the houses where V.I.Lenin lived during his term of exile the memorial setting has been kept and conditions of Siberian peasants’ life have been recreated on the farmsteads.

I visit this museum every time i come to Krasnoyarsk, and this summer is not an exception. I like the USSR history installation and the exhibition of posters. Also, there are natural-size installations about nature of Siberia, animals that lived and live in forests and plains. You need approximately two or three hours to look through all exhibitions. The museum provide you an excursion, however as i study Russian language, i listened it in Russian, thus, i could not say anything about tours for foreigners. There is a small canteen in the museum, but we were advised by the stuff to visit the coffee shop "British scientists" which is located on Mira street. The food served in canteen leaves much to be desired, probably that is the reason why we were advised to have a coffee break somewhere else. As for the whole museum complex, you may be interested in the exhibition on the ship, which is a part of a "national history museum" if you are into Russian and soviet culture! I like discovering new all the time in both of these locations!
