Culture
Vladimir History Museum
Vladimir's History Museum looks ready to tell a story before you even enter. Red brick, strong window surrounds and a high roof refer to older Russian architectural forms. Yet this is not a medieval building: the museum house dates from the turn of the twentieth century.
