Beautiful 17th century palace opens its doors in Moscow
The Yussupov Palace (also know as the ‘Volkov Chambers’) recently opened its doors, following several years of restoration work.

Visitors can see the Throne Room, Oriental Room, Winter Garden, Main Porch and the 19th century east wing addition, which will take them approximately 1½ hours.
