Wonderful muzeym,in a mansion of 1908 art nouveau
Reviewed By Антон Р
Я не ожидал, что в Костроме, в которой я был десяток раз, найдется что-то, что сможет меня удивить.
Этот музей - самая яркая достопримечательность города. Созданный двумя энтузиастами всего лишь 4 года назад, он позволяет почувствовать себя в конце 19-начале 20 века. Здесь нет бахил, нет витрин, нет замечаний "Руками не трогать". Здесь вы не в музее, а в гостях у "мэра" Костромы Геннадия Ботникова, который ненадолго вышел, но обязательно вернется, чтобы рассказать вам о времени и о себе.
Помимо предметов быта вы увидите потрясающую выставку костромского художника-постимпрессиониста Юрия Романова и навсегда влюбитесь в его творчество.
Благодарю вас, Николай и Екатерина!

Personally, I enjoy traditional wooden architecture but this exhibition surprises by the number of exhibits. There you can find old wooden churches, mills and the whole street of wooden houses ranging from very poor to very rich. Expierenced guides will tell you interesting stories about life in medieval Russia. You will be able to see geniune things and furniture used in those days. We visited the museum in autumn, so the colourful trees added beauty to this picturesque village.

The central square has a beautiful old fire hall, some monuments, and is near the old trading arches. A nice place to start out on a trip to Kostroma.

This is another typical 5-domed Russian church built in the 16th century. However the monastery dates from the 17th-18th century. It was neglected during the Soviet era and is now in the process of being restored. The gold coloured domes are very striking.

You can ignore tickets at entry. Just explain that you don't want to visit museum. Museum demonstrates 3 examples of pechka and 2 arm-chairs. So no worth to visit at all. All other objects are free for visiting, well, average Russian rich monastery.
7. Fire Tower and museum

The fire tower in he centre of Kostroma is over 30 meters high and dates from early 19th century. After the great fire this structure was built as an observation tower for firemen. It is now a museum of fire department. Behind the tower is a military guard room and in front a large open space for people to mingle and kids to play. Good focal point for the city's residents.

Пес Бобка был неотъемлемой частью местной пожарной команды. Он всегда сопровождал пожарных на выездах. В 2006 году на площади поставили бронзовый памятник собаке. Рядом с фигурой пса размещена копилка в виде мячика, в которую бросают деньги для центра поддержки бездомных животных. Существует поверье: если сесть на спину собаки и погладить ее, то непременно будешь счастливым.
