🖼 Pavlovsky Posad History and Art Museum

Павловский Посад, Большая Покровская ул., 38

A town museum with a hall of Pavlovo Posad shawls, wood carving and the history of the merchant Posad.

The museum opened on 5 November 1971 in the bell tower of the Resurrection Cathedral, with about 2,000 items in its holdings at the time.
After the cathedral was handed to the Church in 1996, the museum got its own building and reopened in 1999.
By 2018 the holdings had grown to 15,000 items.
A small Eiffel Tower stands in the yard, in memory of the Russian-French company that opened a cotton-spinning mill here in 1898.
A separate section is devoted to the factory owner Vasily Gryaznov, canonised as the Righteous Vasily of Pavlovsky Posad.
