Ship Museum Cruiser Aurora
Undoubtedly the most important and famous ship museum in St. Petersburg is the Ship Museum Cruiser Aurora. This cruise ship also has an exciting and fantastic history that is very attractive for those interested in Russian history. The Ship Cruiser Aurora has been involved in many wars and is known as one of the veterans of the Russian Navy. In addition to foreign wars, the Ship Cruiser Aurora also played an essential role in the great Russian Revolution. When the Bolshevik forces were ready to invade the Winter Palace and overthrow the Tsarist government, the Ship Cruiser Aurora fired a blank shot and signaled the revolutionary troops to start the attack. That is why in Soviet history, the Ship Cruiser Aurora is considered one of the most important ships in the Russian Navy's history. After all these historical events, when the Ship Cruiser Aurora retired from service, the idea of establishing a museum on it soon came up. Given the ship's history, establishing a museum to show its importance to the Russian people and explain the ship's services and how it operated was inevitable.
