While I wouldn't travel to Rostov just to see it; if you're already going, it's worth taking a look as it is the only city in all of Russia with this particular type of mosaic art. It depicts typical soviet scenes of education and lifestyle and also scenes from World War II. You can find this art in a number of underpasses along the main street: Bolshaya Sadovaya Ulitsa.

This is not just a historical and cultural place. It is also one of the most beautiful observational points with a great view on the city. Going up or down the steps is a fun activity, too.

Staff removed rope barriers to let us sit and take pictures at various items of furniture. Not normally done but the member of staff knew we were tourists and it was New Years Eve. Don't know her name but Thank you anyway

Just expect the guide to actually guide you (i.e. boss you around), rather than entertain or answer your questions - no time for that. They have a program which they want to shoot at you at a speed of automatic rifle, and then be done with it and off to lunch :)

The Powder-magazine is part of the real fortification structure built in late 18th century to protect South Russia from the Ottoman Empire. The old atmosphere is recreated inside the building with dummies of soldiers that keep gunpowder in barrels there. There's a beautiful old diorama dedicated to a battled between Russians and Turks on the opposite wall taking you back to the late 17th century when Tsar Peter came to get Azov fortress into his hands. Which after some turmoil he managed to do. There are lots of accompanying monuments and artefacts in the area of the museum. Absolutely worth visiting.
