NEED TO KNOW
Opening Hours
Most museums are open from about 10am to 6pm, though hours often fluctuate from
day to day. Be aware that most museums are completely closed at least one day a
week - often Monday. Look for late evening hours on at least one day a week.
Sanitary Day
Many museums close for cleaning one day per month, usually during the last week of
the month.
Admission Prices
Many museums still maintain a dual pricing system, whereby foreign visitors must pay
a higher admission fee than Russian residents. Even student prices are often reserved
for students of local universities, though this is not a uniform practice so it's worth in-
quiring.
