How much time
We count what is left today: from now — or from opening, if the museum has not opened yet — to the last admission. The closing hour is of no use for such a count: past the last admission nobody is let in. Where the last admission is not established we allow half an hour: erring towards «you will not make it» costs less than sending someone to a locked door.
When I go
We show those open on at least one of the days chosen. Today is Friday.
Who with
One thing is asked here: whether a child will find it interesting inside. The ease of the way and of the rooms is a question of another kind, and it stands under “Access”. In the entry this shows as a mark, and the age in the note beside it.
What to see
Access
The accessibility of a museum and the accessibility of the way to it are different things, and we keep them apart. It happens that everything inside is arranged faultlessly while the door itself cannot be reached in a wheelchair; it happens the other way round too.

Ostankino

Ostankino

A palace wholly of wood and wholly pretending to be stone, with a theatre hall that a turn of the machinery converted into a ballroom. Buildings of the kind can be counted on the fingers, and surviving eighteenth-century stage machinery is rarer still: the Georgian Theatre Royal at Richmond keeps its, Drottningholm keeps its, and this is the third name on that short list. It was built by serf architects for a serf theatre, and that fact cannot be subtracted from the estate: the brilliance here stands on unfreedom, and the museum says so. Go knowing the main thing: after years of restoration the museum is opening in parts, and in August 2026 the palace-theatre itself was still at work.

The theatre hall with its machinery, which turned it into a ballroom. The Egyptian and Italian pavilions. A collection of light fittings and carved wood. The Church of the Life-Giving Trinity of 1683 beside the palace.

Kolomenskoye

Kolomenskoye
A.Savin, CC BY-SA 3.0 · Wikimedia Commons
The Church of the Ascension of 1532 is the first stone tented church in Russia and the only building in Moscow on the World Heritage list. The tent here is structure and not ornament, and sixteenth-century Russian architecture cannot be understood without having stood under it. The rest is a museum reserve with a middling collection: icons, tiles, manuscripts, wooden buildings brought from the North. And one warning: the palace of Alexei Mikhailovich shown in every photograph is a 2010 replica put up elsewhere in the park; it should not be confused with the real Kolomenskoye.

The Church of the Ascension, 1532. The Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist at Dyakovo, sixteenth century, usually empty. The Front Gate with its display. Peter the Great’s cabin, brought from Arkhangelsk. Tiles and icons in the reserve’s exhibitions.

The Borodino Panorama

The Borodino Panorama

Roubaud’s panorama is one of the few survivors of a genre that was the summit of 19th-century visual culture and has almost entirely vanished. The value lies in the machinery of the spectacle, not in the subject: this is how people looked before cinema.

Franz Roubaud’s Borodino panorama of 1912: 115 metres of canvas in the round, 15 metres high. Next door, the Kutuzov hut where on 1 September 1812 the council of war decided to abandon Moscow.

The Darwin Museum

The Darwin Museum

The oldest museum of evolution in Russia, built around an idea rather than around a case of stuffed animals: Kots collected proofs of variability, and the display serves the proof. It cannot match Vienna or Berlin for material, but its way of arguing stands on its own.

Early 20th-century taxidermy by Filipp Fedulov, among the finest anywhere; the collection of albinos and melanists gathered by Kots as visible proof of variability; the Living Planet hall.
