National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan in Kazan

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan (Kazan Museum) – this is the main museum, from which acquaintance with the city and Tatarstan should begin. His exhibition is dedicated to the history and culture of Tatarstan and the Tatar people. Periods ranging from prehistoric to the present day are covered. There is a section devoted to the nature of the region, where stuffed animals living in these parts are presented, and not only. For some reason, stuffed inhabitants from other parts of the country came here. Of great interest to visitors is the carriage of Catherine II, in which she arrived in Kazan.

Visit the National Museum is a must, and in the first place. True, we can not fail to note that there are certain drawbacks to which one should be prepared. There are a lot of "extra" exhibits that are not directly related to the region and brought from other places. Quite a lot of information about the history of Russia as a whole and about the Second World War, also not related to Tatarstan. Not all tourists like the "shovel" and rude attitude of museum keepers to visitors. It is forbidden to enter the museum with bags and backpacks, they will have to be left at the entrance. And yet, the information on the signatures to the exhibits is scarce, without excursion support it will not be very interesting.
