The English Compound Museum

To touch the history of Britain, you do not need to visit London, you can do with the museum located in Moscow on Varvarka.

The chambers in which the museum is located were not built by English representatives. In the XV century, they were built for themselves by a certain bedridden Ivan Bobrischev, and then, when trade relations with England began to improve, this unique monument of Russian architecture became the residence of English merchants and the Embassy of England.

This was the reason that the museum acquired the status of an English courtyard. Visitors to this museum are waiting for fascinating excursions, which are conducted by characters of the corresponding era. Here you can not only learn about life and get acquainted with the art of Eastern Europe of the Renaissance, but also visit inspiring chamber concerts or historical and literary productions, which acquire a special charm due to the unique acoustics of the state chamber in which they are held.

The English farmstead is a unique island of European culture in Russia.
