Moscow is one of the top tourist destinations in Russia. Many tourists planning to travel to Russia are invited to visit Moscow by travel agencies and tour operators in Russia. Although Moscow is the capital of Russia and this has had a significant impact on attracting tourists to this tourist destination, the main reason for Moscow's popularity among tourists of the tour to Russia is a large number of tourist attractions and historical landmarks in the city. One of the main tourist attractions in Moscow is the historical museums of the city. Museums that each have an essential page of Russian history to display. One of the Moscow tour's prominent historical landmarks is the Kremlin, which has housed several essential tourist attractions in Russia. Some of the buildings inside the Kremlin, including its famous cathedrals, are Moscow's oldest examples. Each of the buildings in this complex has witnessed important historical events in different periods of Russian history. Even when the Russian capital moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, the Kremlin's importance and its components did not diminish. At a time when Peter the Great had made significant efforts to build a modern capital for Russia in the north, St. Petersburg was close to becoming a failed project due to Peter II's interests for Moscow. All these events show the particular importance of Moscow and its attractions on Russia tour. One of Moscow's advantages for tourists is the occupation of the most important tourist attractions in the city center. With a short tour of the city center, tourists can visit most of the Moscow tour's major tourist attractions. One of these tourist attractions, which today has become one of Moscow's small but essential historical museums, is the Chambers of the Romanov Boyars.
The Chambers of the Romanov Boyars is one of several tourist attractions in the city center that tourists can visit during their Moscow tour program. This tourist attraction is located on Varvarka Street, only a few hundred meters away from Red Square. The proximity of the tourist attraction to the Red Square and the Kremlin makes it easy for tourists to visit the Chambers of the Romanov Boyars on foot after seeing these two important tourist attractions on their tour to Moscow.

The Chambers of the Romanov Boyars is an architectural example of a 15th- to the 17th-century house in Moscow's heart. The building was handed over to Nikita Romanovich, one of the prominent politicians of the time, in the mid-16th century. In 1631, the Znamensky Monastery was established on the chamber's grounds, and the chamber was used as the monastery archives, the monastery treasury, and the monks' quarters. It was not until 1856 that Emperor Alexander II decided to completely renovate the building and turn it into the Romanov Family Museum. In 1859, the Museum of the House of Romanov Boyars was opened. One of the museum's features was the Romanov family's heirlooms transferred to this museum and the complete reconstruction of its interior. After the October Revolution, the museum had renamed the Museum of Boyar Life, and since 1932 has been under the auspices of the State Historical Museum. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the museum underwent a major restoration, which revealed a collection of ancient architectural details hidden from Richter, who was in charge of the chamber's restoration during the 19th-century reconstruction. After the chamber was turned into a museum in the 19th century, Russian emperors visited the Romanov family museum after the coronational ceremony to pay their respects to their ancestry. Of course, the museum opened its doors to the public only after the October Revolution. Before that, only members of the imperial family and nobles were allowed to visit it.
One of the main attractions of the Museum of the Romanov Boyars is the preservation and reconstruction of this building in its original form and the placement of personal property and equipment used by the Romanov Boyars on display. Visiting this place during a trip to Russia is not unlike traveling back in time and visiting the sixteenth century. The exhibits you will see inside the museum are authentic weapons from the 16th century, such as cavalry swords, royal guard spears, and ancient rifles that attract tourists' attention. In addition to these weapons, there are also antique furniture and chests that are of interest in their kind. Old books and engravings are also among the things you can enjoy while visiting the museum during your tour to Russia. Silverware, magnificent and everyday clothes, children's toys, and very high-quality fabrics are other items that can be seen in this museum. Of course, it should not be forgotten that the primary purpose of visiting this museum is to get acquainted with Russian boyars' lives before Peter the Great, which is made possible by showing the way of their life and their history inside the museum. That is why we at Star Travel recommend visiting this museum to those interested in Russian history. Today, the Chambers of the Romanov Boyars operate under the auspices of the State Historical Museum and is known as one of the museum's branches throughout the city. If you do not know enough about the State Historical Museum, we have introduced this important tourist attraction in the Red Square on our weblog.
Although the Chambers of the Romanov Boyars is only a few hundred meters from the Red Square and is very small in size, the museum is less considered by travel agencies and less included in Moscow tour programs. However, we at Star Travel recommend our tourists that if they've got enough time on their tour to Moscow, they should visit this museum and get acquainted with the life of one of the highest aristocratic ranks in Russia.
