Cultural Code: Russia is a Country of Museums

Russia is huge, diverse and wonderful. And this diversity is not only about natural landscapes and climatic zones but also about national identity, folklore, art, historic heritage of the people living here. We, the HED editorial team, want those coming here to study or build a career to have the opportunity to feel the Russian vibe, see the local beauties for themselves, visit theaters and museums, go sightseeing, read interesting books, and enjoy the taste of national dishes.

In our Cultural Code column, we plan to familiarize our readers with diversity of Russia, its geography, history, literature, architecture, and cuisine. In this issue, we keep placing beacons on the map of our immense country. Today we focus our attention on the museums.
