3. State Historical Museum

Founded in 1872, this museum has an incredible collection of over 4.5 million objects, of which around 22,000 are on permanent display. The exhibition begins with traces of early Palaeolithic man and goes on to chart Russian history through the ages. Its neatly arranged displays of fascinating artifacts include a 7.5-m (24.5-ft) Neolithic dug-out canoe, a huge marble sarcophagus from the 4th century BC and a large wooden globe produced by Dutch cartographers and acquired by Peter the Great in 1697.Krasnaya Ploshchad 1 • 495 692 4019 • Metro: Okhotnyy Ryad, Ploshchad Revolyutsii • Open 10am–6pm Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat; 11am–9pm Thu & Sun • Adm • www.shm.ru
