A visit to the National Show-Museum, Grand Market Rossiya, St. Petersburg
Day 29 (July 19) our last day in St Petersburg and our flight to Dubai and to KL the next day.
Since our flight to Dubai is in the late evening, we visit the National Show-Museum in the morning at Grand Market Rossiya in St. Petersburg. The largest Russian layout in the world. This huge and intricate model museum, which spans over 800 square meters, gives visitors a miniature yet thorough image of the entire Russian Federation. Sergey Morozov conceived it in the early 2000s. Officially opened to the public in June 2012, it has become a must-see location for both tourists and locals. The museum not only depicts Russia's rich geography and culture but serves as an educational tool, providing insights into the country's daily life and historical events.
