Russia's national history museum in a red-brick pseudo-Russian fairy tale building on Red Square, between the Kremlin wall and St Basil's direction. Two millennia from prehistoric tribes through the Romanovs: golden Scythian deer, Novgorod birch bark letters, and the excavated treasures of the Rus.
