Коломенское - Государственный музей-заповедник

In 1925 the «Kolomenskoye» museum was set up. Architect P. Baranovsky, a remarkable artist of Russian culture, was the museum founder, the first director, who also restored outstanding pieces of architecture and arranged the exhibits. He saved monuments of material and spiritual culture of the Russian people from churches and monasteries being destroyed and estates fallen to pieces; those saved masterpieces became the core of a very rich museum collection.

In the middle of 1920-ties the first Russian museum of wooden architecture standing in the open was set up in Kolomenskoye. Monuments of wooden architecture from different regions of Russia were transfered and installed here. In 1927 a household building from Preobrazhenskoye village (Moscow) was restored with subsequent restoration of other remarkable samples of feudal architecture of XVII century such as the Saint Gates of Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery (1932) and the Tower of the Bratsk Stockade (1959). One more monument of architecture the 1702 Cottage of Peter the Great's brought from near Arkhangelsk was rebuilt here in 1934.

Wooden monuments are installed in the former Voznesensky fruit garden where a little grove of the most ancient oaks in Moscow is preserved.

Some expositions on history, ancient Russian painting and decorative applied art were arranged by the museum personnel in numerous pieces of architecture in Kolomenskoye.

For its centuries-old history the Russian people have created a lot of various pieces of art which show versatile talent of the common people.

Among outstanding monuments of Russian culture there are also the architectural ensemble of the former tsarist summer country residence of Kolomenskoye and the pieces of art being kept there.
