The 5 Best History Museums in Volgograd, Southern District
Known as Stalingrad during much of the Soviet era, Volgograd is now an important industrial city of just over a million people. During World War II, the hill of Mamayev Kurgan was one of the bloodiest locales of the Battle of Stalingrad (the deadliest battle in history, claiming a million and a half lives), and is now the site of a memorial complex. The Panorama Museum, named for the massive Battle of Stalingrad panoramic painting it houses, is another of the city’s most popular attractions.

We got the English audio guide at the entry – this was a really good museum. Some of the displays were really immersive and of course the big panorama up the top. Must-see when in Volgograd, I really enjoyed it. The exhibits were great and I learnt a lot about the town's history in the Battle of Stalingrad.
