This place is easily accessible from Red Square - just a couple of minutes walk. It provides an insight into how the wealthy Muscovites lived hundreds of years ago. Each small room is well set out and the are information leaflets in both Russian and English. Please note, there are some very steep and narrow flights of stairs to negotiate and some of the doorways and archways cannot be over five feet high.…

Great historical value as it's the only example of a boyar house of XV-XVI centuries - a glance into life of the tsar period of Russia, before the Soviet and even the imperial times. The interior has been nicely restored, you'll find a description in Russian and English in every room, which might be enough if you want to just look around. If I remember correctly, English descriptions were not under every item, but I'd say the structure of the house is a bit more important.…
