The Museum of Moscow, established in 1896, is the main site of the museum association of the same name, which includes several city museums: the Museum of Archeology of Moscow, the Museum of the History of Lefortovo, the Gilyarovsky Center, the Museum of Zelenograd and the Garden Ring Museum.
The Museum of Moscow is located in a unique architectural complex — the Proviantsky warehouses on Zubovsky Boulevard. The museum stores its funds there and hosts exhibitions, lectures, and classes for children. Summer festivals, concerts and celebrations are held in the courtyard. The museum’s collection totals 790,000 artifacts: the main fund contains 460,749 objects, the scientific and auxiliary fund — 334,287. The museum houses the personal archives of dozens of prominent Muscovites and historians of the city, including over 300 personal collections, themed collections and family and ancestral archives of prominent Moscow merchant families.
The museum’s rich and diverse collection allows visitors to fully explore Moscow and learn new fascinating facts.
