Museums on the Arbat are very different. There are Pushkin museum-apartment, museum of corporal punishment, and very unusual exhibitions and labyrinths, which form the whole entertainment complex. Walking along this beautiful street in Moscow, everyone can find something interesting for themselves. Let's walk along the Arbat and look into the most unusual places. Let and only virtually.

Museums on the Arbat Old

Our walk we will start with the museum-apartment of Pushkin. This two-storeyed blue building stands out against the background of its neighbors. Here the famous poet brought his young wife Natalia Nikolaevna after the wedding. Here the newlyweds lived their first happy months together. They gave balls and gathered friends and acquaintances under their roof, until they had to move in 1831. The museum at Arbat Street, 53, opened on the day of the celebration of the 155th anniversary of the Pushkin wedding.

Another interesting exhibition is located at Arbat Street, house 17. It is a museum of aquarium art. All other museums on the Arbat can not compare with this in terms of the number of live exhibits - fish, turtles, other unusual and bright creatures. The exhibition is located on two levels. The idea of the creators is that going down to the floor below, the visitor enters the underwater world. In addition to aquariums with their inhabitants, you can also see the equipment of divers from different eras and learn more about the history of aquaristics.

The Museum of the History of Corporal Punishment, by the way, belongs to the same owner as the Aquarium Museum. And his exposition is compiled as professionally, with knowledge of the matter. Exhibits - torture tools and tools for execution, the executioner's tools, as well as portraits of representatives of the mournful profession. This exhibition is impressive and frightening at the same time, but its purpose is not this. It simply opens up to the audience another page of human history, albeit remaining unsightly and very sad.

Museums on Novy Arbat

A walk along this street begins with an exhibition of erotic art. It is located at Novy Arbat, house 15. Together with several other interesting exhibitions, this forms a real entertainment complex. Of course, to come here, as in other museums on the Arbat, with children will not work, because for visitors there is a limit of 18+. Exhibits - various items of erotic art, brought from different countries, but very many at the same time are filled with national Russian color. The museum contains paintings, photographs, statuettes. Nearby - the entrance to the only sex shop in Russia, working on the principle of a supermarket. This means that you will not find a consultant here, because no one will be embarrassed by the buyer.

Next to the museum of love, at the same address, there is a museum of death. His exhibits are also brought from different countries. For example, here you can admire the collection of skulls and funerary urns. And in the museum a large number of unusual coffins of various forms are collected. There is a coffin-bottle, a coffin-beetle, the last havens in the form of a syringe, a cigarette, a bundle of money and a remote from the TV. The notorious coffin on wheels from children's horror story, even if it existed in reality, after being seen in this museum, it would hardly be possible to impress.

The museum of the USSR is also interesting. Here are the brightest items of the Soviet era, such that surrounded almost every citizen of the country in everyday life. These are telephones, carpets, dishes, and children's toys. Soviet gaming machines and famous soda machines are also represented here. In addition, the museum can be photographed with the leaders - Lenin and Stalin.
