The Museums, Parks and Estates olympiad has announced additional venues available to participants between 28 September and 2 October. They include Moscow Lights, the Vernadsky Geological Museum and Chekhov’s Melikhovo estate.

This concerns participation in the olympiad, rather than newly established museums. The organisers advise checking each venue’s visitor arrangements in the catalogue before going.
