A large park combining several large areas: a huge alley of fountains, a large museum complex, a large forest with shady alleys. On the territory of the park, in addition to the museum, there are: an Orthodox church, a synagogue and a mosque, and soon there will be a Buddhist temple.

The highlight of the museum is the panorama Borodino created by Russian battle-painter Franz Roubaud in 1912. The museum exposition is dedicated to the Russian victory over Napoleon's Great Army in 1812.

This museum is a representation of the Russians defeating Napoleon at the battle of Borodin. At the very top is a 360 degree painting that cleverly re-created the scene of the battle with the foreground from the viewing point showing the debris and destruction of this war.
6. Triumphal Arch

The main Moscow's monument of the Patriotic War of 1812 and victory over Napoleon.
Reviewed By sergeyk147
We were here in January, during New Year's festivities. It was rather warm, practically no snow around, more like winter somewhere in France than in Russia. It's curious that a "predecessor" of this arch in Paris mentions battle at Borodino - a decisive clash of that 1812 war - as victory of the French while Russians claim it were them who took the upper hand. Well, strictly speaking, the former is right: Napoleon captured Moscow - his major goal and prize - several days later. Its inhabitants, however, preferred to arson it and turned the city into ashes which radically changed the course of the war and ultimately made the French emperor retreat from this "wrong" country. Yes, this Triumphal arch is not authentic. So what? Russians still revere those events as sacred. They call that war "Patriotic" and don't give a damn about what others think of it. In the end of the day, it was their army which - together with its allies - entered Paris in 1814, didn't it? Recommended.
