Moscow culture reviews

Tretyakov Gallery

An excellent Gallery in all respects. I spent 8 hours there on a rainy day in September 2010 and throughly enjoyed it.

Cosmonaut Museum

Great museum, a must for all space enthusiasts! Lots of paraphernalia, very well exhibited. Very easy to get to: right next to the metro station.

Cosmonaut Museum

Really interesting museum but with lots of amazing exhibits and stories. Unfortunately I couldn't understand any of it as it was all in Russian. A real shame as a bit of text in a common language (English/Spanish/French) would have really made it. Definitely worth a visit though.

Bolshoi Theatre

It was the highlight of my stay in Moscow.

Tretyakov Gallery

very good

Cosmonaut Museum

I really like NASA stuff, so when I'm in Moscow, I'll have to check this out. Probably quite different, I'm guessing.

Bolshoi Theatre

Absolutely a must-do in Moscow. It's a cultural sensation.

State Historical Museum

very good looking

St. Basil's Cathedral

RUSSIA IS AWESOME

Cosmonaut Museum

my russian friend took me here... very interesting museum!! check it out

Cosmonaut Museum

Retro and awesome! I love this kind of stuff so had a great time. Learned a lot from a distinctly Russian perspective... fascinating!

Red Square

I love Moscow and the moment I stepped onto the Red Square I knew it was for real! Love it!

Red Square

Moscow Rocks!!!

St. Basil's Cathedral

Best seen from a distance. A quite marvellous building perfectly placed in the rear of the square. Went inside, the best part was listening to a choir singing. Otherwise not so very interesting.

Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre lived up to all my (incredibly high) expectations. It really must be scene... i don't care if it's a cliche. A trip to Moscow without the Bolshoi ballet is not complete

St. Basil's Cathedral

I went to Moscow 7 times all in the USSR.it was very beautiful city

Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

i'm looking forward to the December Nights festival already!

Bolshoi Theatre

From ticket purchase to curtains down its an experience of a lifetime!

Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts

Pushkin Fine Arts Museum is definitely one of the best in Moscow, if not Russia. Even if you're only in town for a few days, you should put this museum on your things to do list.

Tsereteli Museum

I visited the museum in summer '07 - and was astounded at the prolific amount and style of his work. Definitely in the very large scale but allows the viewer to change perspective on life being miniscule in comparison to the scale of the works.

Cosmonaut Museum

Fantastic old museum. Retro but cool. Fantastic socialist reliefs on the rocket monument outside. Worth the trip north for the Cosmonaut museum

St. Basil's Cathedral

Amazing!!! Everything you imagine it would be. St Basil's is the most spectacular piece of architecture in Moscow

Red Square

I was there in 1987 with a college group. It was different experience to say the least. I found this site wondering if it was still open to the public since the fall of Communism.

Bolshoi Theatre

I had the pleasure of being in this theatre in May 2002, for the "Swan Lake" ballet. This theatre is awesome, comfortable, nice acoustic, etc. When you add this theatre with the Russian artists, you get an unforgettable experience.

State Historical Museum

Excellent historical museum, from prehistoric time up until the Russian Revolution. Two floors, 2nd floor prehistoric - 1700, 3rd floor 1700ish - 1900 (Alexander III). English tour book (200R) for second floor only (they don't have a 3rd floor book in Russian yet either). Well worth the time, excellent exhibits, especially the military halls. If you are a history buff, a must see. Takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Separate fee to take non-flash pics, and if you don't look Russian, the little old ladies will want to see your camera pass(75R). Combo pass for this mueseum and St. Basil's, camera pass good for both. Nice way to spend some time around Red Square.
