Chess museum, Chess museum at Gogolevsky Boulevard, Moscow, Russia
The Chess Museum spans three exhibition halls containing chess sets, paintings, trophies, historical documents, and personal items from chess champions throughout time.
The museum originated in 1980 as a single room collection, starting with works from Leningrad collector Vyacheslav Dombrovsky before expanding into its current form.
The collection presents chess items from multiple countries, including rare books by Ponziani, Philidor, and Stamma, alongside artifacts from Russian grandmasters.
The museum offers free admission on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with visits requiring advance scheduling through the Chess Federation of Russia.
The museum displays the actual table used during the notable Karpov-Kasparov match, representing a physical connection to chess history.
