The restoration of the entire Tsaritsyno museum complex is not yet complete. But the museum is receiving visitors since last year already. Recently, my family and I visited Tsaritsyno. There is indeed much worth seeing there. I was impressed by the modern design and way the exhibitions were arranged, the entrance into the museum complex, the existence of cafes and of brochures in the kiosks… And I thought: in places Russia really is in a condition to rise again. One day, you’ll look around, and everything here will be all set up in a human way and for humans. To find out more about how the restoration of the Tsaritsyno museum-estate went, I met with Irina Markina, deputy general director of the State museum-estate Tsaritsyno for the study, protection, and restoration of monuments of architecture.
