    The jewel in the crown of Kazan is their beautiful kremlin. Picturesque, great views and just lovely to wander around in as well as see the historical sites. Adored it.

    Incredibly interesting interactive museum showcasing all the best from Soviet life and culture. Huge amount of engaging and enjoyable exhibits and items, which can all be touched and tried on.
    My personal favourite was trying on all the different Soviet army jackets and hats.
    The owner was friendly and made the visit fun and interesting, his passion for Soviet culture really came across.
    This museum is a must visit when in Kazan!
    Thank you!

    If you want to feel the real atmosphere of Kazan, the city, where two religions and two national Cultures peacefully coexist, you shold visit this place. You can see old mosques and havtrye some Tatar national meal in the restarant.

    We are not normally museum people but this was across the road from the kremlin and close to our hotel.
    Its well laid out with great displays and lots of interactive stuff too for kids. Only downside was the lack of english text but it was still enjoyable.

    Very funny and educative museum also for adults but specially for kids. It demonstrates, among other things, in a very entertaining way, the laws of phisics and nature. All devices on display are either real machines donated to the museum or devices designed and built at eh museum by its staff. Such an amazing job is being done there. Also, it is cheap (250 rub).

    If you really find the entrance to this inconspicuous place in the middle of Baumana street - which is a challenge - you'll be more than rewarded for your efforts.
    That modest two-storied art museum hides works of one of the most undervalued artists of Russia who died at the age of 34 only (hit by a train).
    No more words - come and see those gems.

    Yes kazan has its own hermitage as well as its own kremlin. Alot smaller than the st. Petersburg version but an excellent introduction to russian history.
    Its part of the museum complex but worth searching out. We found it complemented the one in saint Petersburg.

    This lovely public library was a gift of a wealthy Tatar mercenary to his fiancée. Each room is decorated uniquely, with first class materials (during that time). Today, the library still has the remnants of such beauty, very well maintained, and each room still hold its own magic.

    Great to visit

    I rarely visit museums, but here the windows of the hotel overlooked the house of the Lenin Museum and it was a sin not to go there.
    The museum is housed in a two-storey wooden wing in the back of the courtyard - a typical manor house of the second half of the 19th century. It is surrounded by a small landscape gardening area with a flower garden and a large statue of Ilyich.
    The opening of the museum in 1937 was timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution.
    His brother and sisters took an active part in the creation of the museum and the restoration of the apartment of the Ulyanov family.
    In the lobby we are greeted by another statue of the leader and a souvenir shop.
    In the first hall there are still a couple of statues of Ilyich - from a small one - "When Lenin was small, with a curly head", to a schoolboy against the background of the village of Kokushkino.

    The museum exposition includes photographs, books, interactive whiteboards showing, for example, the family tree of Ulyanov-Lenin and his relatives.
    Right there we see the Order of Ulyanov the Elder, the books of Grandfather Blank.
    The family of a hereditary nobleman lived well. Each family member had his own small room, a nanny lived under the stairs, and there was a good hall on the second floor.
    In general, the museum is not bad, it gives an idea of ​​the life of the urban intelligentsia of Kazan at the end of the 19th century.
