What to do and see in District Southern (YuAO), 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.

This museum has recently re-opened after refurbishment. It is in the centre of Moscow in a small park that is almost unknown. The museum itself is located in the old stables belonging to Catherine the Great, that she had purchased, along with a small palace, for one of her young "men friends". The building is stunning. It is more like a grand ballroom, with balconies either end for the orchestra. The displays are designed in a chronological order, with excellent lighting. About 70% displays have english translation. I was very pleasantly surprised at the standard of minerals on display. There are toilets but be warned, they are VERY small. It would have been nice to also have refreshments available to purchase, or souveniers.

This former village and archaeological site housed summer residences of the grand dukes of Moscow, and later of the tsars, and is now a museum and reserve.

We chose to go to Kolomenskoye simply to get away from the touristy centre of the city, and we were delighted with what we found. Arriving at the south end of the reserve from the Kashirskaya metro station we were able to visit first the reconstructed Tsar Palace. This wooden palace was impressive in its detail and presented history in a living way with information in several languages available in each room. We enjoyed this far more that the Kremlin and would go so far as to suggest missing the Armoury at the Kremlin and spending time at Kolomenskoye. The park is Huge and while we enjoyed walking the length of it to the other historic buildings, it is a very long way in the heat of the summer sun. There is the option of a little wheeled train which I would recommend. The walk is pleasant, through orchards and with glimpses of the river with the city in the distance. By the time we got to the north end of the estate we were really to hot to spend much time exploring. I recommend a whole day if you wish to get the most out of this beautiful place.

The park is 10 min walk from metro and there is no entrance fee, so one can add spend there some relaxing moments.. Even if you do not want to visit inside the Palace the architecture from outside is amazing.. I spent there 2 hours enjoying every bit of it
