Exhibition "Unified Ticket. Route No. 1: Kostroma on Foot"

About exhibition

One ticket grants access to exhibitions in several buildings of the Kostroma State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve — the Museum of Kostroma Nobility, the Art Museum, and the Military-Historical Museum. Moving through the halls of the latter, visitors take a journey through the pages of military history and also explore the interiors of the house built in 1823–1826. Until the early 20th century the building was used to house the main garrison guard and to detain arrested servicemen. Today the former guardhouse contains a military-historical exhibition of more than 1,000 items, including a 12th-century steel sword, a 15th-century hand cannon, and a suit of chain mail. The ceremonial halls of the Museum of Kostroma Nobility, the ornate cast-iron staircase, and the many interesting details and household objects immerse visitors in life in a 19th-century provincial town. The site also hosts an exhibition of the best paintings by Yefim Vasilievich Chestnyakov, clay figures, documents and the artist's personal belongings. The unified ticket is valid for one month from the date of purchase.
