About museum

The Alexandrovskaya Sloboda Museum is located in the oldest residence of the Moscow rulers — the Alexandrov Kremlin. Beginning in 1513 a grand palace-and-church ensemble was erected here, surpassing the Moscow Kremlin in beauty and grandeur. From 1565 the Sloboda became the capital of Russia and the diplomatic, political, and cultural center of medieval Russia. The finest craftsmen, icon painters, and musicians lived and worked here; the first Russian singing school and the first provincial printing press were established. In the 17th–19th centuries the Sloboda was visited by almost all members of the Romanov dynasty. Today the Alexandrovskaya Sloboda museum-reserve carefully preserves the history of the tsar's kremlin. It features nineteen permanent exhibitions and displays housed in white-stone interiors, as well as numerous interactive tours and event festivals.
