One of the modern Moscow districts, several centuries ago, Izmailovo used to be a village not far from the city, where Tsar Alexey Romanov conceived to create a country residence. In the second half of the XVII century, Izmailovo, an old family manor of the Romanov boyars, was transformed into a beautiful country seat of the Moscow throne. The new residence was unusual enough to bring to mind the Garden of Eden: the royal palace stood on a man-made island and there was a menagerie keeping rare animals. Not far from the palace, an experimental household was laid out. It was quite ahead of the time with the grapes, melons and water-melons grown in the gardens and local manufactures producing rare and expensive goods.
The Izmailovo residence saw several generations of the Russian tsars: Alexey, Peter I, Empresses Anna and Elisabeth and many others. On your guided walk around the museum, you will learn exciting pages of this place’s history, see its old architectural sites and visit the ‘Izmailovo – a XVII century royal patrimony’ permanent exhibition.
Please note that in addition to the tour service, you should buy an entrance ticket to the ‘Izmailovo – a XVII century royal patrimony’ exhibition.
