RED SQUARE, State Historical Museum

The State Historical Museum, the fifth largest museum in the world, guides you through the historical events that have affected the people of the immense Russian territory from the Paleolithic era to the end of 20th century.

Inside the rooms, some of which are magnificently decorated with stuccoes and frescoes, arranged to accommodate the different historical periods with accurate reproductions of spaces or decorations typical of the time, you will find archaeological artefacts, coins, ancient texts, weapons, jewelry, as well as precious works of art, icons, furniture and clothes, some of which belonged to the tsars.

Where the museum is located was previously occupied by the Principal Medicine Store, built by Peter the Great, which already gathered imperial collections of antiquities....
