Description
The State History Museum and small but charming Kazan cathedral are located on the north side of Red Square (Moscow, Russia). The cathedral is a cube topped with a cluster of domes and encircled by a gallery. Sadly in 1936 the Cathedral was demolished. Fortunately blueprints of the building survived, and in 1989 architect Oleg Zhurin, took charge of the project to rebuild the Cathedral.
The State History Museum has an enormous collection covering the period from the time of the Stone Age. The building, dating from the late 19th century, is itself an attraction - each room is in the style of a different period or region, some with highly decorated walls echoing old Russian churches.
