Description of the Historical Museum
The foundation of this institution dates back to 1854. Initially, the museum was adjacent to the Vladimir gymnasium for boys. Further, as soon as 1906 came, he changed his location, moving to a building built on donations from local residents. The two-story museum complex is occupied by the most interesting historical artifacts accumulated over a huge period, from the Stone Age to 1917.
Huge interest among touristsThe Historical Museum (Vladimir) evokes because of the unusual design of the halls themselves and the shape of the building, reminiscent of an ellipse. The last renovation was carried out here in 2003. The territory of each department is completely finished with mirrored canvases. It is in this most interesting room that you can begin to get acquainted with the history experienced by the region.
Amazing dramatization of the events of bygone times simply cannot leave any person indifferent. Further, the attention of the visitors who came to the museum switches to the period in which such events as the baptism of Russia and the reign of Prince Vladimir took place, as well as the emergence of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality.

Reviews
Many guests of the museum are very pleased with the tour and the variety of exhibits presented. The only thing that upsets me is the slightly strangely designed annotations, but this is not so significant when compared with the general impression.
I am also very pleased that the management allows photographing the entire exposition. By the way, when viewing photos, there is a feeling that all images have volume, which makes it even more interesting to watch.
