The State Historical Museum is the beautiful red-brick building facing St. Basil's Cathedral from the northeast end of the Red Square in Moscow. Opening Hours 10-6pm daily with extended hours to 9pm (Friday and Saturday).

Constructed in 1883 in Russian Revival Style, this is one of the most attractive buildings on the Red Square. The deep red colour of the building complements the nearby Kremlin and helps give support to the name of this square. You can enjoy building architecture from all sides. It is impressive from within the Red Square and on the opposite Manezhnaya Square as well.

In addition to simply viewing this attractive historical building, a visit inside to the see the History Museum (400 RUB) is worth a couple hours of time as well. Here you will see several floors of halls and gallery rooms displaying historical items and artefacts from prehistoric to present times. There is greater emphasis on recent centuries and the expansion of the Russian State.

Rooms are cover three floors and museum items are spaced out and well presented in a chronological manner, making it easy to make your way through the collection. Unfortunately, most item displays are in Russian only so it is challenging to know exactly what you are looking at much of the time. Perhaps in time they will update information displays to include English.

Overall, we enjoyed our time at the State Historical Museum and considered it worth the two hours we spent here. There are some interesting items on display and even with many displays being Russian only, you can get a decent feel for early and recent Russian history during your visit. Obviously, viewing the exterior architecture of the building is something everyone will enjoy, regardless if you intend to spend time within the...

The State Historical Museum (GIM) is the largest national historical museum in Russia. Founded in 1872, the building on Red Square in Moscow was built in 1875-1883 by the architect Vladimir Sherwood and engineer Anatoly Semyonov. The site for construction was provided by the Moscow City Duma, ordering to demolish the building of the Main Pharmacy that stood there. The fund of the modern State Historical Museum has more than 5 million items and 14 million sheets of documentary materials. The permanent exhibition in the building on Red Square contains only 0.5% of the total collection. The number of visitors to the museum annually exceeds 1.2 million people. The staff is more than 800 employees. Currently, the museum association includes the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed, the Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812 and the Romanov Chambers. The State Historical Museum also owns exhibition halls on Revolution Square, storage facilities and restoration workshops in Izmailovo. The construction of a depository and exhibition center with an area of 120 thousand square meters is underway in the village of Kommunarka, New Moscow. Since 1990 it has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as part of the Red...

183 года назад именно в этот день был открыт Императорский российский исторический музей им. императора Александра III, название которого сейчас сократилось просто до "Государственного исторического музея". Корреспондент Мемуарис как раз посетил экспозицию около недели назад и хотел бы сейчас поделиться с вами своими впечатлениями. Так сказать, предостеречь вас.

Как известно, в Москве на момент 2020 года насчитали 275 государственных музеев. И, как обитатель Красной площади, Исторический музей, безусловно стоит на самых первых местах всех списков, красуясь и выпендриваясь. А выпендриваться-то - как оказалось - особенно-то и нечем.

Последний раз я была в упомянутом музее в далёком детстве. Экскурсия, куча золотистых бирюлек, огромное количество костюмов, оригиналы старинных книг - всё это впечатлило меня очень сильно. Так что галочка у меня стоит. И тут я решила эту галочку обновить... Скоро музей - по идее, в очередной раз - закрывается на реконструкцию, так что сходить надо было, и я пошла.

Зашла через какой-то субвход, назовём это так. Билетики взяла быстро, показали куда идти - тут никаких претензий. Пояснили, что работает 2 этажа (из 3ёх), сначала допотопные времена, средневековье, потом Петруша&co. Поднялась по лестнице будто в купеческий терем. Красота превеликая. Но повсюду за витринами валяются какие-то палки, стекляшки, кости, осколки и тому подобная, прямо сказать, фигня. А почему именно так назвать её было бы уместнее всего? Потому что подписи, которыми обладал отнюдь не каждый экспонат (учитывая ещё тот факт, что немалое количество из них было на реставрации), имели характер либо "в смысле ты не знаешь, что такое бандо", либо "этопалка".

Далее. Идёшь как бы по кругу. Указателей особо нет. Экспозиции посвящённые славянским племенам или монголо-татарскому нашествию могут быть прерваны выставками красивых бирюлек. В одном из таких залов я и увидела фотоальбом Долгорукого (!!!). "О, скрап-тема! - подумала я - Вот это я понимаю, "скрапить из дорогих материалов, а не вот это вот всё"". Но никакой информации получить не смогла - в музее подробностей, как вы поняли, не рассказывают, а для Гугла это слишком редкая вещь. Делюсь фотографиями 👇. Позже, на втором этаже, нашли ещё один альбом, только уже с "домашними птицами". Оказывается, Долгорукие любили рассматривать фотокарточки - прИкоЛьНо.

Кстати, про второй этаж. Во-первых, нашли мы нужную лестницу не сразу, во-вторых - опять всё смешано: документы петровской эпохи могут легко лежать рядом с указами Александров, и это норма. Также очень покоробил тот факт, что вот, например, ты входишь в зал, видишь книгу, написано "Сказание о Борисе и Глебе", отрывок из Повести временных лет. Ты уже успел испытать шок и благоговение, перечитываешь надпись заново, а там "муляж". И потом никакого доверия к экспонатам уже нет. А всё, а надо было раньше. И это один из главнейших музеев Москвы!

PS: в холле в закрытом пространстве стоит автомобиль Ленина. Вот уж неожиданно...
