What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the museum's staff to be exceptionally friendly and patient, offering a good insight into early Russian life with many artifacts from that era. However, a significant drawback is that all exhibits are in Russian, and staff English proficiency is limited, which can hinder a full understanding for non-Russian speakers. The presentation of exhibits is also noted as needing improvement by some.
"It's a good Museum, the staff is super friendly and patiently explains stuff. They really give you a good insight into the early life in Russia. They have a lot of things from that bygone era .The only issue that i found was everything is in russian and the staff doesn't really know English either. I can't explicitly blame then for it because having lived there not many people speak in English. But if you know a bit of russian and want to kill sometime learning I'd recommend it"
