Jul 24, 2006 I almost didn't want to go there, but really glad I did. If you are in Moscow, do visit this museum where they had impressive royal carriages where the wheels are at least 5 feet tall, the coronation carriages with the gold crowns and gold decorations are really impressive. The various coronation gowns are really interesting in that you can see the shapes of the women, some "normal", but others with 18 inch waists! Peter the great's boots (very tall) he made himself, he is supposed to be 6'7" and it was impressive just to see these tall boots. Of course the 3 kg gold plates, the fabulous Fabege eggs, highly jewels covers of bibles, etc. We did not spend nearly enough time there in 1 hour, so you might want to plan 2 hours so you can see the Diamond Fund too. Camera is not allowed.  Part of the Baltics, Moscow and St. Petersburg 2006 travel blog

Our first destination outside of the metro system was the armory and military history museum, describing the history of U.S.S.R military action and featuring many helicopters, jets, tanks, and missiles. The next stop was Red Square, just outside the Kremlin walls, which served as the backdrop to the military parades captured in classic photographs of the Soviet… Moscow (Part три) |
