Situated in a 17th century monastery that was created as a representation of the Holy Land in Russia, the New Jerusalem Museum complex also contains a garden and several other historical buildings. The museum itself was founded in 1920. The museum's fund of exhibits numbers up to 170 000, Western and Russian paintings, icons, rare and handwritten books, embroidery, and historical documents. The most interesting thing about the place will always be the long history of the monastery complex.
