The Izmailovo museum reserve is located on the historic site of the Tsar’s Court, a vast architectural ensemble originally built during the reign of the first tsars of the Romanov dynastyrulers of Russia from 1613 until the Russian Revolution of February 1917. Most of it has survived relatively unscathed until the present day. Today, you can see the stately Pokrovsky Cathedral, the unique Mostovaya Tower, the Front and Back Gates, a chain of ponds, and administrative premises dating back to the 17-19th centuries. Nowadays, the exhibition entitled ‘Izmailovo: a 17th-Century Family Estate of the Tsar’ stands as the cornerstone of the museum, which also regularly hosts temporary exhibitions. In close proximity to the museum are the Izmailovo Kremlin, an archaized entertainment complex, and the famous Izmailovo Vernissage.
