New Jerusalem Museum

Situated in a 17th-century monastery that was created as a representation of the Holy Land in Russia, the New Jerusalem Museum complex also contains a garden and several other historical buildings. The museum itself was founded in 1920. The museum's fund of exhibits numbers up to 170 000 - Western and Russian paintings, icons, rare and handwritten books, embroidery, and historical documents. The most interesting thing about the place will always be the long history of the monastery complex.
