Walk in the shadow of colossal dinosaurs and marvel at examples of the early phases of life on Earth at Orlov Paleontological Museum. The six museum halls house a collection of over 5,000 artifacts that have been carefully gathered for almost a century. You can see everything from fully assembled skeletons of dinosaurs and other ancient creatures to the fossils of almost every type of discovered prehistoric organism. Some understating of Russian an asset when visiting the museum because there aren't a lot of explanations in English, and audio guides are not available. Inside the museum you are allowed to take photos and video recordings.

Absolutely stunning art, which is not what you normally expect to see at a natural history museum (ceramics, bronze sculptures, relieff, paintings) and , of course, amazing fossils! My favourite since childhood. However, when we were there, both the cafeteria and the gift shop were closed for reconstruction, which is unfortunate when you visit the museum with kids. The toilet facilities were also, in need of upgrades (which hopefully will come after the cafeteria is finished). Still, give the museum top grade, because it is a must-see, and the negative sides are assumed to be temporary
