The History, Architecture and Art Museum in Yuriev-Polsky is one of the best known provincial museums of Russia's Golden Ring. Located in the territory of the Michael the Archangel Monastery, the museum includes the displays that are dedicated to the history of the city, P.I. Bagration, a famous war chief, and the old Russian painting art.

The Museum's key historical expositions are The Kovrov Land from Ancient Times to the 19th Century, The Chief Town of Kovrov at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries, and Forever in People's Memory, a military history exposition

In 1980, the world's only museum dedicated to the A.P. Borodin opened its doors in Davydovo. This museum was founded by the will of Sergey Alexandrovich Dianin. We offer guided tours by appointment only!

As you stroll along the streets of Gus-Khrustalny, it’s impossible not to notice the single‑story red houses that look very much alike. These are the “Maltsov houses,” which were built in the 19th century for the workers of the crystal factory. They got their name “Maltsov” after the factory’s owners — the Maltsovs — whose funds were used to build the houses. Today, all of them have the status of cultural heritage sites.

The exhibition hall of the Gorokhovets Historical and Architectural Museum was opened in 2010 in the house of Semyon Semyonychev, a second guild merchant. Its friendly atmosphere and state-of-the-art equipment make the exhibition hall one of the favourite cultural entertainment places for the residents and guests of Gorokhovets. Visitors can attend district-, region-, and nation-level rotating exhibitions. They feature paintings, masterpieces of applied craftsmanship, and works of famous photographers, as well as authentic antiques from the stock collections of the Gorokhovets Museum and relics of travelling exhibitions of the country's museums.
