Nizhny Novgorod State Museum of History and Architecture

The place where you can find many interesting things about Nizhny. It is not big, so I recommend to everyone to visit it.

It's a really nice museum, and actually will take 2-3 hours of your time (a rare thing in small city museums!). Unfortunately there was no audio guide, but we managed with Google translate to figure out the history. There are also some information on the wall in English which actually helps a lot! It's a gorgeous mansion, which has seen different historical events. The masterpiece for me was the dancing hall, truly captured the essence of rich Russian family events.

Interesting museum, amazing interiors.

Like a palace! A must see in N.Novgorod

Beautiful interiors of 19th and the beginning of 20th century. But staff is rude and a museum tour is boring.
