A sense of place

The Kremlin offers an architectural route; the art museum gives another way to read the city. Its Governor’s House contains a collection of Russian art.

People & culture

Museum visits connect familiar names with discoveries. Artists and the people caring for their works offer a useful starting point for exploring a city.

After a Kremlin walk, choose a few paintings to spend time with.
