Trinity Church (Crystal, Lacquer Miniature & Embroidery Museum)
Троицкая церковь
A red-brick church beside the Golden Gate that now houses museums of crystal, lacquer miniatures and embroidery, with exquisite displays.
This red-brick church in the neo-Russian style was built between 1913 and 1916 and now serves as a museum. It displays crystal glassware from Gus-Khrustalny, lacquer miniatures from Mstyora and Palekh, and Vladimir gold-thread embroidery. It is a good place to learn about Russia's traditional crafts. Admission costs several hundred rubles, and it is closed on Mondays. It stands right by the Golden Gate, so the two can be visited together.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–18:00; closed Mon
