Rukavishnikovykh Usadba

I belive it is one of the most beautiful building in Nizhnyj Novgorod. Each room is decorated in different style and in each room is expozition, but the most interesting is the building itself. You have to wear shoe cover there, so take closed shoes, because the covers are daily used by many visitors. Visit costs 200 rub, foto is free. I spend there Aproximately 1,5 hour. There is quite a lot of people.

Kashirin House (Maxim Gorky Childhood Museum)

Well, even if you got no idea of who Maxim Gorky was and why the city was bearing his name for quite a while under the soviets, it`s still worth visiting especially with children or teens, to see how people actually lived in this area somewhere in early 19th century, it`s a wooden house of Max Gorky grandad, an owner of a dye house which was the their family business at that time, a modest if not poor wooden house with well-preserved interior will tell you things you can`t really grasp from books, since you need a picture - life was hard, and there you see how hard it was, which makes us understand why a little boy Maxim, grown in this kind of environment had such a passion for books, education and social changes later in life.
