This is a real gem of a museum with one of the finest collections of restored icons in Russia. The best examples of the famous Yaroslavl school of icon painting. Early works, masters who moved here from Novgorod and lavish later icons commissioned by the wealthy merchants of this town. Information in English is very scarce. It’s such a pity! There are also temporary exhibitions. When I was here it was an exhibition about Peter the Great’s ban on beards and the conflicts that followed. Great multimedia exhibition in Russian. This is a great example of how to show Russian history in a modern way. I hope the next step will be to make this more accessible for foreign tourists as well.
