Moscow's rich history and dynamic culture are highlights of this cosmopolitan cap-
ital, as showcased by the ever-expanding array of museums and galleries. Once a
cornerstone of conservatism, these venues are now experimenting with new techno-
logies and subject matter, in an attempt to entertain and educate.

Museums
Moscow is packed with museums. History museums remember every era of Russia's past;
countless country estates are now architectural museums; military museums commemorate
the nation's wartime heroics; and anybody who was anybody has a 'house-museum' in their
honour. There are two space museums, two Jewish museums, and two chocolate museums.
Whatever you're into, Moscow has a museum for you.
