Why go

The museum puts material culture beside the political and religious monuments surrounding Red Square. Its collections range from prehistoric remains to objects associated with the Romanov era. A visit helps connect the buildings outside with the people, craft and everyday objects that a walk around the square cannot show.

What to look for

  • Russian historical collections
  • Red Square museum building

Useful to know

  • Confirm current visitor hours and the relevant building or exhibition before departure.
