I have already shown the outside of the General
Alecsander Vasylievich Suvorov (1729-1800) Museum in album 104. Let`s see in inside.
It was built on Kirochnaya street, 43 in
1904 by the project of architect A.I.Gogen (with G.D.Grimm) exactly as
Suvorov Museum.
It seems that above by the perimeter of the halls cities occupied by the
Russian troops are named.
On the stained-glass window - Suvorov itself
is represented.
The Museum consists of several halls -
the central (in which opposite the entrance the stained-glass window is
situated) and several halls to the right and to the left.
The halls
are not divided in floors - so the ceilings are very high.
I will not be able to show all the
exhibits (numbers nearly 100 thousands) but you will det some
impressions.
In the most cases there are quoted tables near the
pictures but for example here I have forgotten to photograph it .
There are kernels and keys maybe.
The tobacco-box of Pavel the First
(without its edges).
Gold, varnish, glass, 1793-1801.

empress.
The day of my visit occasionally
coincided with the Suvorov`s birthday so the entrance was free :)

The Kunersdorf battle of 1 august 1789.
On the model - the position of troops in 5 p.m. The prussians occupied
the Mulberg neight and attack unsuccesfully Russian and Austrian troops
on the Big Shpic height. For this attack Fridrich the Second placed his
batalions in column but all their attempts to pass the Kungrund ravine
were unsuccesful because of the bravery of unicn Russian - Austrian
troops. At that time Russian general P.A.Rumyantsev with the Austrian
general Laudon had beat off the Prussion cavalry attack and after that
the union troops made a counter-offensive.
The model was made by the Historical-military Figures Club members
