The Coolest Moscow museums

There’s more to museums than dull display cases stuffed with exhibits – and away from the mainstream Moscow has several unique and fascinating collections to explore. For an alternative insight into the city’s culture, try a trip to one of these three.

Museum of Russian Vodka

Few things are more closely associated with Russia than vodka, the national tipple. The museum boasts a collection which spans the 500-year history Russian vodka from the earliest stills to the modern-day industry. Among the exhibits are 600 different types of the drink, old recipes dating back to the 18th century, photos and advertizing displays through the ages and historical bottles. The star exhibit is an example of the very first distillation kit – the tools to create the first vodka back in the 15th century.

For most visitors, though, the highlight is the Vodka Degustation session. In a Russian Traktir – modeled on the bars of 19th-century Russian towns – guests can enjoy a huge range of vodka and all the traditional ‘zakusky’ or snacks that accompany an authentic drinking session – pickles, pirozhki, blini with caviar. At the end of the tour you can buy great souvenirs drinking sets with glasses, gift sets of famous vodka brands.

  Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines

Guys, you can’t miss this! With more than 40 old-school arcade machines – many of them in full working order and waiting for you to test your skills – it’s great fun!

The excursion explains how, although arcade machines were invented in America back in the 19th century, Soviet citizens encountered them for the first time only in 1971 at the the International Arcade Machines Exhibition in Gorky park. That event inspired Soviet manufacturers to produce their own consoles – the likes of “Morskoi Boi” (Sea Battle) and “Zimnaya Okhota” (Winter Hunt), as well as sports games – all operated by 15-kopek coins available from the ticket office.

As well as the games machines, you can see incredible examples of Soviet advertising products: stunning booklets, which are attached to the machines – they were designed in a futuristic manner and promised an “unreal feeling in real life.”

Definitely worth a visit

  Animation Museum The museum introduces the process of creating cartoons. Here you can take a master class on the computer game “Be an animator”. Exhibits come from private collections and include puppets, storyboards, scenary, documents, diplomas and awards, telling the story of animation, and many of our favorite cartoon heroes. The museum focuses on organized groups of tourists, but individuals are welcome to join a group tour. And even if most visitors are children, it caters for the kid inside all of us – among the services on offer are birthday parties for grown-ups and even weddings!
