Museum "Lights of Moscow"

The Museum "Lights of Moscow" is a museum that introduces its visitors to the history of street lighting in Moscow. Located in the very center of the city - in Armenian Lane, house 3, in the building of white-stone boyar chambers of the XVII century. The museum is based on an exhibition dedicated to the 250th anniversary of street lighting in Moscow, opened in December 1980.

Here you can get acquainted with the history of street lighting in Moscow. The museum presents a variety of light sources: lights, oil, kerosene, gas lamps, lamps and light bulbs, of various shapes and sizes. Visitors can light old lanterns and feel like a lantern or a late traveler. This is a modern museum not only in terms of the time of creation, but also in terms of idea – here you can touch a lot of things and figure out how it works on your own, and everything that is included can be included. In the exposition, visitors are waiting for a large number of photos with views of the capital. One of the halls of the museum is dedicated to the electric clock.

The tour continues with a bus trip to Moscow with stops in the most lit places - on Red Square and Sparrow Hills, on Kutuzovsky Prospect. The museum holds other excursions, interactive programs and master classes.
