Museums of Ivanovo are no exception. Therefore, we will walk through some of them without difficulty.

House-museum of the family Bubnovyh

The date of construction of this building is the 1860s. The project was typical for its time. Fortunately, the house-museum managed to be preserved to our days in its original form. And it is worth to look at it, having decided to study the museums of Ivanovo. The family of Andrei Bubnov (a Bolshevik revolutionary, prominent party and statesman, People's Commissar of Education of the RSFSR), the house got from V.V. Bubnov (native uncle of SE Bubnov). The family lived here until the building was converted into communal apartments. This happened in the mid 40-ies of the last century.

The request for the preservation of the building as a monument to architecture was addressed at the end of the 1960s by party veterans. Memorial House Museum was opened on November 4, 1978. Today, this is one of the three surviving houses in the city with a mezzanine.

Museum of Industry and Art

Speaking about the museums of the city of Ivanovo, it is worth mentioning the Museum of Industry and Art. DG Burylin, Ivanovo-Voznesensky Maecenas, a manufacturer and a citizen of the city of Ivanovo, created the collections collected here.

Book editions and coins - this part of the collection Burylin received from his grandfather. After, having become addicted to collecting objects of antiquity, Dmitry Gennadievich began to expand his reserves. Subsequently, he replenished the collection with various things: porcelain, weapons, furniture, painting. To expand the collection, the philanthropist had to travel to Eastern and European countries, he also went on trips around his native expanses.

The next item of our cultural program is the Ivanovo Art Museum. The date of its opening is the 1960th year. The museum collection is represented by works from a private collection of DG, already familiar to us. Burylina. With the meetings of the manufacturers of the Karetnikovs and General Ruzsky , one can also get acquainted here. Today the number of exhibits of the museum has exceeded 45 thousand.

House-Museum of the Tsvetaev family

Our list of "Ivanovo Museums" would be incomplete without this institution. Since 1853, there lived three generations of this family. After all her members died, there was a transfer of the house to private use. But in 1988 the state buys it out in order to create a house-museum. At the same time, they began to restore the building and collect the exposition material. The museum was opened on May 18, 1995. The annual Tsvetaeva readings, literary evenings and much more have become traditional.
