Even sleeping areas of St. Petersburg may surprise you. Among the usual residential buildings of Moscow district there is a unique museum project – the largest miniature of Russia (total area is about 800 square meters).

Miniature is a collective image of Russia, which has absorbed all of its most characteristic features, and objects. You will be able to find the Moscow Kremlin, Karelian Kizhi, Peter and Paul Fortress, and other sights of Russia here.

Unfortunately, it is quite problematic to get to the miniature. You have to walk about 15-20 minutes from the metro station “Moskovskiye vorota” (“Moscow gate”). Currently, no public or private transport goes to Tsvetochnaya (Flower) Street, 16.

Museum “Grand Miniature of Russia” is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00. The cost of an adult ticket is 400 rubles (about 14 USD), child ticket – 200 rubles (7 USD). Photography and videography are unlimited and free.
