Things to do in Moscow, Central Russia: The Best Museums
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.

For all of us, with our memories of fixed phones, and our busy mobiles, this modern museum is both informative and fun. First, you need to make a little effort - come off the Garden Ring through an arch, walk a minute, pass the British phone boxes and the old telephone manhole covers - then press a door buzzer, and there it is, one floor up, a big, bright room overlooking a leafy yard - well worth the effort, and good for an hour easily. Someone has gone to a serious effort to collect a wide range of phones from all eras, and display them clearly, with some even available to handle. Kids will enjoy the option to "dial across the room" but there's something here for everyone. Staff are friendly, even the security guards give hints. Most naturally primarily speak Russian but some will try in English (and no doubt other languages) and there is some bilingual material. There are nice and affordable mementos, and a tiny cafe corner with nice coffee and tea. Surprisingly popular, with sometimes active but cheerful school groups. Recommended!

Writer Maxim Gorky's residence from 1931 to 1936, this remarkable home is a stunning example of art nouveau architecture, highlighted by a twisting marble staircase, stained glass roof and flowery mosaic and stucco decorations.

Excellently preserved art nouveau marvel in the center of Moscow. Reason it was kept well - because Maxim Gorky, writer, stayed there during the Soviet times.

The antique furniture, lamps and china in this apartment where Alexey Tolstoy lived from 1941-1945 helped him immerse himself more deeply into the eras he was writing about.
