Museum of the History of Moscow (Muzey Istorii Goroda Moskvy)

Museum of the History of Moscow (Muzey Istorii Goroda Moskvy) Review

This small, manageable museum, housed in the former Church of St. John the Baptist (1825), presents Moscow's architectural and cultural history through paintings, artifacts, and amusing life-size dioramas. It's worth stopping in for a brief visit to get a fuller view of the Moscow history only hinted at in older neighborhoods, though unfortunately there is no written information in English, making it difficult to glean much from the exhibits unless you read Russian or have a guide.
