9 Museums in Maryina Roshcha (Jewish Quarter) That You Shouldn't Miss
The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

A bit hard to rate this museum since you probably either love it or are not interested in military history, and then hate it. But there is a grey area here since if you like military history, you also might either feel underwhelmed or overwhelmed. While the museum has a good mix of display cases with stuff in, they also have a lot of full-size dioramas. If you don't speak or read Russian, you must get the audioguide since there are no signs in English at all. The audio guide is very good if you just want an overview of the most important things in a room, but there is no option to get more information about a specific item not mentioned in the guide. That's why you either will be over- or underwhelmed depending on your interests. Also, the audioguide speaks about each room and directs you by the narrator where to go within a room, so jumping ahead is not possible. You'll have to listen or fast-forward the narrator within each room. Every room is a new track. There are about 24 rooms, each with a specific era or time period as a theme. A lot of rooms about WW2, but not so much about the war campaigns itself, but more about happenings before and after. Some very interesting Nazi artifacts are displayed, taken from Berlin for instance. Unfortunately, they have chosen to put them in red light (easy to spot the "enemy things") which makes them hard to see. Colors are disappearing or changed in the red light. Outside, there is a crowded display of Russian airplanes, tanks, missiles, and even a ship, but they are put very close together which makes it hard to get a really good look. Except for the boat, there are no ramps or anything making it possible to see the things from any view besides the front (more or less). Still very interesting. Also, there are only Russian things - no conquered Nazi tanks or planes or anything like that. The audioguide also speaks about several objects within each stopping point instead of giving each item a number of itself. There is a small cafe inside with fair enough food. As usual, you are not allowed to carry a backpack, outer clothes or anything like that. There are free lockers to lock away your backpack and smaller bags while clothes must be left at the wardrobe service in the basement (also free). The exit to the outside passes the wardrobe and makes it possible to dress on again before heading outside. You'll also need to put something as a deposit when getting the audio guide. Passport, 1000 Rub or Id-card will do. The only two only downsides of this place were the souvenir shops which only contained plastic toys, some medals, and some basic Russian things/shirts and such. No posters, no old Soviet replicas and things easy to take home. The second thing was that the audio guide lost its objectivity for each room you passed, becoming more and more patriotic the closer you came to the current time, that in the end, it became ridiculous. Keep that in mind and you can still enjoy this place as much as I did. The audio guide will entertain you about 2-3h, so I recommend you to stay here for 4-5h.

All museums are similar to some extent. Often it is a collection of items united by one theme, lying on display behind the glass. You cannot say the same about our museum. It is different. It is interactive. It is difficult to say what it resembles most, a museum in its conventional meaning or a theme park. The exposition imparts the information in a multitude of ways. It is multifaceted. It engulfs you, enters your mind and interacts with almost every single of your sense organs. And it is possible thanks to the cutting-edge audio-visual and computer technologies.В чем-то все музеи очень похожи друг на друга. Часто это объединенное по тому или иному принципу собрание вещей и предметов на витринах под стеклом. О нашем музее этого сказать нельзя. Он другой. Он интерактивен. Сложно определить, на что он больше похож — на музей как таковой или на парк развлечений. Вся информация, которую призвана донести до посетителей экспозиция, имеет разные способы подачи. Она объемна. Она обступает людей, проникает в их сознание, воздействует почти на все органы чувств. Это стало возможно благодаря использованию современных компьютерных и аудиовизуальных технологий. История расселения евреев по миру подана в виде большой интерактивной карты. Огромные витрины, на которые проецируются уникальные фильмы и фотографии, воссоздают образ типичного местечка XVIII — начала XX веков. Аудиоэффекты органично дополняют визуальный ряд и создают эффект присутствия. Архитектурные конструкции спроектированы таким образом, что дополняют экспозицию и усиливают вовлеченность. Давайте подробнее остановимся на каждом из пунктов.

A great history lesson of the Jews from the whole of the Eastern European region. You'll walk away having been exposed to a very powerful experience. The museum provides an in-depth understanding of the history of Ashkenazi Jews. Set aside at least 4 hours or more for the visit
