Moscow hosts millions of tourists worldwide every year and is considered one of the main tourist destinations on tour to Russia. Since Moscow is the capital of Russia, millions of visitors annually shouldn't shock many people; however, being Russia's capital is not the only reason behind this popularity on tour to Russia. Moscow has many tourist attractions that can turn any trip to Moscow as one of the memorable ones for anyone. Besides the historical landmarks, which can entertain tourists who want to learn about Russia's history during their trip to Moscow, art galleries and art museums in Moscow play a significant role on tour to Moscow. The recreational programs that tourists can try during their trip are just bonuses to what they'll get from this historical city. One of Moscow's best features for tourists is the fact that city centers and tourist center of Moscow are the same places. Most of Moscow's significant attractions are gathered around the city's heart, including the famous Red Square and the Kremlin complex. Each one of those two attractions is enough to attract millions of tourists every year. Still, besides Red Square and Kremlin, several more attractions around the city center are included on tour to Russia program. However, there are also several attractions at the heart of the city that are not included to the tour to Moscow program by the travel agencies and Russia tour operators, and the only reason behind that decision is the number of significant attractions that are more important for tourists to visit during their tour to Moscow. One of those attractions that many tourists are unaware of its existence is the Museum of Unique Dolls.
The Museum of Unique Dolls is one of Moscow's relatively modern museums, established only in the late 1990s and 1996. Despite the small size of the museum and the not-so-large number of exhibits inside it, it is incredibly popular with Moscow's residents. Of course, it should be noted that this museum is never introduced as one of the main tourist attractions of Moscow on tour to Russia program, and only those who are interested in unique dolls, especially famous Russian dolls, pay special attention to it. Our mission in Star Travel Group is to introduce the tourist attractions of Moscow from the smallest to the most important ones on the Russia tour because although most tourists are only interested in visiting the most significant tourist attractions of Moscow on the Russia tour, some tourists are interested in the less-famous interests; so that they have the opportunity to see them during their travel to Moscow if they have got enough time. The Museum of Unique Dolls in Moscow is also one of the museums that may not be very popular with most tourists in Moscow, but it has a particular interest. The museum was founded by Russian artist and theater actress Yulia Vishnevskaya. One of its first goals was to keep the memory of some of the most famous Russian puppets in theater and cinema. From its establishment, the Moscow Museum of Unique Dolls has become one of Moscow's most important cultural centers, where people enjoy original works of art. The museum began with a collection of several Russian historical and antique dolls. Still, soon this small collection became one of the largest and most important collections of unique dolls globally, covering not only the history of Russian dolls and toys but also some of the most popular dolls from different cultures around the world. The Museum of Unique Dolls is located on Ulitsa Pokrovka, just a few blocks from the city center, where Moscow's main tourist attractions are located. Although the museum is not far from the city center, we recommend that tourists use the Moscow Metro to access the museum. The nearest metro station to the museum is Chistiye Prudy Station. You can visit our blog for more information on the Moscow metro and how to use it. Do not forget that the Moscow Metro is one of the tourist attractions on tour to Moscow, and by using the metro to reach this museum, you can visit the two tourist attractions of Moscow within a short time.
Of course, the Moscow Museum of Unique Dolls is not the only museum dedicated to dolls in Russia. The Museum of Dolls in St. Petersburg, which was established almost at the same time as its counterpart in Moscow, has also attracted tourists' attention during the tour to Russia. Although both museums are privately run, the St. Petersburg Museum of Dolls has more academic support than the Moscow Museum of Unique Dolls. The St. Petersburg Museum of Dolls is located on Vasilievsky Island, home to St. Petersburg's most popular tourist attractions. That has helped the St. Petersburg Museum of Dolls to attract more tourists on Russia tour. Of course, the St. Petersburg Museum of Dolls is not only dedicated to the dolls and puppets, but also for tourists to see antique and historical toys from around the world. You can visit our blog for more information about this museum in St. Petersburg or other tourist attractions on Vasilyevsky Island.
The Museum of Unique Dolls has nearly 7,000 exhibits that can entertain tourists visiting the Museum of Unique Dolls during their Moscow tour program. One of the attractions of this museum, despite the small number of works on display, is the ability to touch some of the dolls and hear their unique sounds, which is very attractive to children. One of the museum's honors is the presence of some Russian historical puppets in the museum collection, which have been used in famous works of Russian cinema and theater. Another honor of the museum is having several porcelain dolls made in the 19th century, which has attracted a lot of attention from collectors and exceptional antiques. The museum's oldest exhibit is a doll's dress from 1650, which is very interesting to collectors. In addition to all these orders, unique dolls of different nationalities such as France, Germany, China, Japan, and England are also included in the collection of this museum. These features are part of what you'll see if you visit this museum during your travel to Moscow.
We at the Star Travel group recommend this museum to our tourists only if they've got enough time during their travel to Russia. You can learn more about Moscow's top attractive places on our weblog.
