  • 1/5 Hande W. 4 years ago on Google • 29 reviews
    I was told to leave my hand bag at the cloak room that didn’t seem to have a safe. The reason given was that it is too large, though it is an average sized hand bag that I carry with me everyday and never was called too big in any other occasion including air travel. Then I was given two plastic bags to put my valuable belongings and carry with me in the museum. I found this not normal at all. So I left and heard the museum paid my ticket price back to the group.

  • 5/5 Яна �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting and informative. History though. It is good that much has been preserved or recreated in this way. But I have a few comments: 1. Nowadays, many museums have interactive screens. It would be interesting if it would be possible to see at least on the screen - the principle of operation of hide and seek, and, especially, of the loom. I stood there and tried to understand HOW IT WORKS !! 2. It would be interesting to show the house, as it were in a section. And then you leave with the thought - And where did the children sleep - girls, boys, where is the matrimonial bed ???? Where were the servants huddled? (A, on the chests) In general, there are not enough household items (Original) Интересно и познавательно. История все же. Хорошо, что многое так сохранилось или воссоздано. Но у меня несколько замечаний: 1.Сейчас во многих музеях имеются интерактивные экраны. Было бы интересно, если бы можно было бы посмотреть хотя бы на экране - принцип работы прятки, и, особенно, ткацкого станка. Я вот стояла и пыталась понять, КАК ЖЕ ОНО РАБОТАЕТ!! 2.Было бы интересно показать дом, как бы в разрезе. А то уходишь с мыслью - А где спали дети - девочки мальчики, где супружеская кровать???? А где слуги ютились? (А, на сундуках) Вообщем, бытовых мелочей не хватает

    (Translated by Google) One of the nicest and most interesting sights of Moscow. There is an interesting and curious museum here, and the building itself is very interesting - there are many decorations and details. A great place for walking and cultural activities. Be sure to pay attention to the shield with a lion above the gate (Original) Одна из самых симпатичных и интересных достопримечательностей Москвы. Здесь интересный и любопытный музей, и само здание очень интересное - много украшений, деталей. Прекрасное место для прогулки и культурного досуга. Обязательно обратите внимание на щит со львом над воротами

    A pain to find, no signs at all. You have to walk trough some weird backstreets and near construction sites. But the museum was worth every second! Amazing! Great find if you're interested in exactly how Boyars (nobles) lived in those times, every little detail is thought out and interesting.

    Kleines sehr schön eingerichtetes Museum. Ist Ideal für alle die keine Zeit haben für ein großes Museum.

  • 3/5 Dmitry K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you do not manage to visit here, then you will not lose anything. The exposition is meager, everything is a remake (the so-called recreated interiors). There are some interesting exhibits, but it's better to go to the State Historical Museum in that case. And 500 rubles is too high a price for such a museum. (Original) Если вам там не удастся побывать тут, то вы ничего не потеряете. Экспозиция скудная, всё новодел (т.н. воссозданные интерьеры). Есть некоторые экспонаты интересные, но уж лучше в ГИМ сходить в таком случае. И 500 руб - это слишком завышенная цена для такого музея.

  • 5/5 Светлана �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Not many buildings can be found in Moscow with the foundation of the 16-17th centuries. The House is just such a place, the life of the boyar family is recreated. There is an opportunity to feel the atmosphere of Russian antiquity. Come, do not regret it! (Original) Не много зданий найдется в Москве с основанием 16-17 вв. Палаты именно такое место, воссоздан быт боярской семьи. Есть возможность проникнуться атмосферой русской старины. Приходите, не пожалеете!

  • 3/5 Anna S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Place for an amateur. Entrance 400 rubles. The museum is not big. There is little information on the stands. It would be better to do an inspection with a guide for 30 minutes. Self-examination for 20 minutes (Original) Место на любителя. Вход 400 руб. Музей не большой. Информации на стендах мало. Лучше бы сделали осмотр в сопровождении гида минут на 30. Самостоятельный осмотр минут 20

    The palaces of the Romanov boyars - the museum of the Moscow boyars of the XVI-XVII centuries, is a branch of the State Historical Museum. The only surviving building of the large estate of the Romanov boyars.

  • 5/5 Лера �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very chamber and comfortable, reflects all life, the vital activity of that time. Loved the stairs to the second floor. Vaults of ceilings, a table, chests, old books and weapons, a spinning wheel made without a single nail, tiled stoves that heated the room, jewelry and clothes are immersed in the atmosphere of the boyar’s estate. Recommend. (Original) Очень камерно и уютно, отражает весь быт, жизнедеятельность того времени. Очень понравилась лестница на второй этаж. Своды потолков, стол, сундуки, старинные книги и оружие, прялка сделанная без единого гвоздя, печи в изразцах, которыми отапливали помещение, украшения и одежда, погружают в атмосферу боярской усадьбы . Рекомендую.

  • 5/5 Татьяна �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice little museum of boyar life. The exposition is small, but it was interesting. There is no audio guide, each room contains information about the purpose of the premises and information about the exhibits. The visit will take no more than an hour. The optimal format of the museum: not tired, but plunged into history and learned a lot of new things for myself. (Original) Очень милый маленький музей боярского быта. Экспозиция небольшая, но было интересно. Аудиогида нет, в каждой комнате размещена информация о назначении помещения и сведения об экспонатах. Посещение займет не более часа. Оптимальный формат музея: не устал, но в историю погрузился и много нового для себя узнал.

  • 5/5 Татьяна �. 3 years ago on Google
