    A beautiful mansion, you need to come with a tour. Only the ceilings, the main staircase, the antique mirror, the piano and the painting of the eastern room have been preserved - everything else: the furniture, parquet floors, interiors are modern. But the ceilings are worth seeing. In addition, there are exhibitions of interesting chess pieces and dolls in the form of figures. You need to make an appointment at the chess museum itself by phone.

    One of the historical buildings of Moscow, located on Gogolevsky Boulevard. There is also a museum there that will be interesting for both adults and children. Nearby are the Museum of Modern Art and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and if you cross the river you will find yourself at the Red October confectionery factory. Go for a walk and get some advice. Good luck everyone ✋

    The mansion is very beautiful, the museum itself is top-notch. The organizers did not bother much with the exposition and modern museum technologies. It could have been much more interesting.

    Since I have been an avid chess fan for many decades, this museum was simply recommended for me to visit. I liked everything very much, it reminded me of the chess city in Elista.
