Ivan the Terrible and Catherine II, the Trubetskys and Golitsyns, Tropinin and Surikov, Mikhalkovs and Pasternaks are not all famous personalities whose names are inscribed in the history of this area. And, of course, you will admire the dominant feature of Volkhonka – the Cathedral of Christ the Savior!
Visit to the museum of the "Russian Estates". The most beautiful museum in Moscow, which almost no one knows about, is a real treasure box!
The expositions tell about the everyday life and life of the three main estates of pre–revolutionary Russia - the Nobility, Clergy and Peasantry.
The floor dedicated to the nobility will take us through the suite of rooms with artfully recreated interiors of noble mansions of the XVIII – early XX century. There are many paintings and furniture, porcelain and samples of noble clothing, and the walls of some rooms are decorated with cloth.
The floor dedicated to the peasant class is very bright and juicy, simple everyday things show their beauty and it becomes clear that these are not household items, but real works of art. It's a great opportunity to imagine, at least for a moment, how our previous generations lived.
