Yaroslavl Museum-Preserve

The Yaroslavl Museum-Preserve encompasses multiple historic buildings within the former Transfiguration of Our Saviour Monastery, displaying extensive collections of Russian art and artifacts.

Established in 1865, the museum occupies a 16th-century monastery complex that features architectural elements from various periods of Russian history through the 19th century.

The museum houses over 350,000 artifacts, including Orthodox art pieces, manuscripts, archaeological findings, and the first edition of The Lay of Igor's Campaign from 1800.

Open daily from 8:00 to 20:00, the museum requires separate entrance fees for the main complex and individual exhibitions within the preserved monastery walls.

The museum's bell tower contains 18 historical bells and offers an observation deck overlooking Yaroslavl's center, while the grounds include an enclosure for Masha, a brown bear.
