The 'new' New Jersalem Museum is a modern, state-of-the-art museum, located across the river from the monastery. Exhibits draw on the hundreds of thousands of items in the monastery collections, including weapons, icons and artwork from the 17th century to modern times. Highlights include personal items belonging to Patriarch Nikon, as well as 20th-century drawings and handicrafts from around the Moscow region.
The new facility is supposed to open in 2014. If not, some of these exhibits are on display in the exhibit hall, just outside the north wall.
