Russian Ethnography Museum

After doing a whole public art project based on traditional Russian windows, carvings, and patterns, I have come to really love Russian folk art. This museum was great--documents the traditions of more than 150 different peoples living in the Russian territories.

Russian windows: the real thing!

Nemo?

They make you pay to take photos in most Russian museums...but in this one at least you get to wear a cool badge!
