Shchurovo Gorodishche is an unusual museum of living history in Suzdal. It was created on the basis of the sets for Pavel Lungin's film Tsar, which was filmed in Suzdal in 2008.

Visitors of Shorin's House can enjoy an interactive performance in the living room of Tsar Gorokh and the Russian upper room with the participation of a folklore ensemble and a folk instrument ensemble. On festive days, the Tsar's Court welcomes traditional roundelays accompanied by cheerful melodies, jocular improvisations and dramatisations.

The Suzdal Kremlin represents an ensemble of the 13th to 18th century architectural monuments. The oldest one of them is the Nativity Cathedral. The southern and the western entrances to the cathedral are adorned with the famous "golden gates" made using the fire-gilding technique. The kremlin is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The museum's art collections stem from the collection of Count Aleksey Uvarov (1824–1884) and Countess Praskovya Uvarova (1840–1924) from the Karacharovo estate near Murom. The collection was brought to the Museum in 1918.

The Murom Blagoveshchensky (Annunciation) Monastery was established in 1553 by Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It was erected on the site of a modest wooden church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its construction is attributed to Prince Konstantin (Yaroslav) Svyatoslavich, the son of Prince Svyatoslav of Chernigov, the grandson of the great Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev.
