Museum of Wooden Architecture

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:59:23

Essentially a park on the bank of the Volga, the museum is a large collection of northern-style wooden buildings, including peasant houses, windmills and churches (one built without nails). Some of the buildings house small exhibits and the grounds are pleasant for strolling, listening to the chirping of resident frogs and admiring the handiwork of the artists. The museum is nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding neighbourhood, which consists of storybook houses, blossoming gardens and pretty churches.
