Bobriki Historical and Memorial Museum Complex
About museum
The museum's history begins in November 1933, when the People's Commissariat for Education of the RSFSR established the Museum of the Moscow Region Coal Basin on Bobrik-Gora in the settlement of Donskoy. In 1996 the museum was reorganized and became the Bobriki Historical and Memorial Museum Complex. The main site of the complex is the Bobriki estate, built to a design by I. E. Starov. Visitors can stroll around the estate grounds and visit the Church of the Transfiguration and the family vault of the Bobrinsky counts. Each year the museum receives more than 10,000 visitors. Museum staff devise a variety of interactive visitor programs: play-based tours, quizzes and master classes.
