House Museum Prince SG Volkonsky

Organized, beautiful exposition and with explanations in English about his and his family history.

Very nice. Great Atmosphere and service. Friendly staffs.

This museum ist just about fashion of the Dekabrists time and about the noble Volkonskiy family. Absolutly no information about the Dekabrist movement, their ideas and goals, no political information at all. So if you want to know about the banned nobles in Sibiria and the privileged life and the good things they did for the region, it might be a good museum. But a comparison to the banned poorer people and any political information are missing. There is also hardly anything in English, as in most Russian museums. But even in Russian, the explanations are very old fashioned, as far as I could understand them. This is history as it was thought in the 1st half of last century.

Informative museum on the living of one of the first Decabrists. The house itself has an interesting history.

Good place to see daily clothes and the way of life of the past in Russia.
