The Museum of Moscow is one of the oldest museums of the city. Its collection was established on the initiative of Russian scientific community in 1896. The Moscow City Duma gave it a large collection of exhibits. In the 20th century museum several times changed its name and location. In 1921 the museum was called Moscow Municipal Museum and was located in Sukharev Tower. In 1940 was renamed into the Museum of History and Reconstruction of Moscow. In 1987 the museum got its present name. The museum acquired more than one million articles depicting life in the city throughout its history, from Moscow’s ancient beginnings to the present day. This collection contains the archaeological finds, ancient tools, jewelry, bronze and stone items from most ancient period of Moscow history. There is a collection of maps and drafts which show how the city grew from year to year.
The Museum of Moscow splashes out a new ‘Hermès backstage’ show – and it’s free! I found myself there accidentally, on return home after the swimming-pool – no camera, no photos :(( The venue is spacious and elegant with a very relaxed air – typically French. There are a number of workshops – silk, leather, ceramics, even glass-making. Of course, 3d glasses - school kids are in raptures :) The audience in more advanced age preferred the good old Lumière cinema. I’ve spotted a good number of foreigners, in fact, some of them were French – not tourists, rather looked like residents. There is a café with fairly good cappuccino, 200 roubles – I’ll write about it separately. As the weather was remarkable nice for September, we chose street food instead, luckily there was quite a lot of it outdoors, the seasonal festival. The public toilet shows a real state of the art, although it’s ‘unisex’, much to my and other visitors’ surprise – I’ve seen such things in France, but we are not that much advanced, you know! The exhibition is only open until September 14, rush up! Don’t forget to visit their souvenir shop, they already have 2019 calendars. P.S. By the way, there was a question in the forum about wheelchairs. I asked specifically at the reception, and they showed me a foldable chair; you can use it free, as far as I understand.
It is the first and the only museum of theatrical artist in Russia. The memorial museum is the creative workroom, where David Lvovich Borovsky had been working during the last years of his life. All the items here are original and characterize the artist’s personality, his way of life and his style in art. The museum contains rich artistic and documental materials, provided by the artist’s family.
