Museum of Wooden Architecture

One of the first museums of the wooden architecture in Russia. Here you can see a variety of peasant buildings of 18-19 cent, and the exhibitions about peasants household. It also can be regarded as a park.

Reviewed By dimitrys2020 - Moscow, Russia

True buildings of 17-19 century showing real life of Russian people in the village. Nice walk and sightseeing. Please be ready for 1,5-2 hour walk. Ipatiev Monestery is close by. So you can combine both easily.
