- Yana AJohannesburg, South Africa9 contributionsОтлично организованный и оборудованный парк. Было интересно и весело всем, и мамам, и папам, и подросткам. Узнали для себя много нового. С семьей мы были в подобных парках в Бельгии, Англии, ЮАР - уровень тот же или в чем-то выше.
We had great time in this park! It has been a lot of entertainment and fun for all: parents and teenagers! Easily spent 3 hours at the place and would love to come back. Previously been in similar places in UK, Belgium, South Africa, standards are same or at some things higher. Really greatly organised!Written 25 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I am happy to be proved wrong on both points. Both kids and I had a lot of fun and learned a lot, and I believe it's safe to recommend visiting this Planetarium to people of all ages.Written 20 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pope86Novosibirsk, Russia656 contributionsIt was interesting to see the old Soviet trains. They also have a section for military equipment and old Russian cars. It’s not a bad way to spend a few hours meandering around. It is completely outdoor so if the weather isn’t great maybe find somewhere else to goWritten 14 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pope86Novosibirsk, Russia656 contributionsDefinitely an interesting museum with a vast collection. As the museum states there are pieces from various cultures but also ww2 and modernish time. By Russian museum standards it’s expensive but interesting.Written 15 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- saronicZurich, Switzerland28 747 contributionsAfter visiting the State Art Museum, where room 206 is dedicated to the work of Nicholas Roerich with about 60 original paintings by him I went to a nearby museum, dedicated only to the oeuvre of this unusual personality, who besides painting about 7000 canvases was also a philosopher, a mystic, a writer, a scientist and a great traveller.
The first time I had come upon his work was when hiking through Naggar in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu Valley, where the man had spent the last years of his life in a traditional wooden house, which is now a museum dedicated to his work. With Novosibirsk the man doesn't really have a great connection, apart from having travelled through on his exploratory central Asian trip, but the museum came into existence thanks to a local lady, fan of the man's spiritual world.
The museum gives a good idea of Roerich's work, although all the paintings on show are reproductions. The whole place is more meant to learn about the spiritual world of the man, who in all his creations shows his theosophical-mystic-occult leanings, mixing old Russian Christianity with Buddhism and especially the Theosophy of fellow Russian Helena Blavatsky.Written 10 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a work once more by Andrey Kryachkov, who is responsible for over 30 mostly grand buildings in Novosibirsk alone. A statue of the architect is just opposite of the museum, by the 100-Flat-Building, naturally also by him.
What is now the State Art Museum was originally built in 1926 for the Sibrevcom (Siberian Revolutionary Committee), later turned into an office building for the CPSU. It is in a for Kryachkov typical style, which easily mixes neoclassicism, Art Nouveau and constructivism. At the front is a rizalit, a protruding central part of the façade, while on top is a dome.
The museum now houses a good collection of internationally mostly unknown Russian painters, except maybe for Nicholas Roerich, for whose about 60 paintings the room 206 is reserved. There is a special museum in Novosibirsk dedicated to this artist, but there only reproductions can be seen.
Apart from the various Russian painters, of whom were quite a few canvasses I liked, there are a few Dutch masters and a 'Resurrection' by Tintoretto. One room shows mainly 16th century icons. There was hardly anybody in the museum, when I visited on a Sunday in summer. Entrance fee is 150 RUB.Written 10 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On the day I was hoping to go, a Saturday, there were two sessions, one at 2pm and one at 5pm. But I was told it wasn't worth my while coming unless I brought a translator. I tried to get one just for an hour or so (rather than a guide for a full day) but wasn't able to as short notice. It sounded like the museum sessions looked at what happiness meant to different people, as well as to visitors, and so it was more than just looking at what was there. It sounds a good quirky little museum.Written 14 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- saronicZurich, Switzerland28 747 contributionsThe visit here has been one of my best experiences in Novosibirsk. A small museum on Gorky street, located in a log house with richly decorated window frames, just as on the Merchant Surikov House from 1905, I had just passed before. Thus the USSR Museum is located most definitely in a building from czarist times.
One has to ring a bell to enter, then pay 250 RUB, but after that one is completely free to roam about the several small rooms, take pictures and touch every item. There was a friendly young lady in charge, who spoke the best English I encountered in Novosibirsk. Also an elderly man was there, sitting in an office, who tried to convince me to buy some of the Soviet items available for sale.
One is left free to look around, no guided tour, but it was possible to ask questions and then the young lady suggested that I should get dressed up in Soviet style for some photos. I first declined, but then thought that it could be fun to show to my grandchildren.
What can be seen in the museum are mainly items of everyday life during Soviet times, after all a period of over 70 years for the Russians. Something not easily found anywhere else and I remember having seen a similar kind of exhibition only in the Historical Museum of Minsk.
There are exhibits displayed like radios, TV's, cameras, roller skates, and several household items, but also objects from the Russian folkloric peasant culture, especially the famous dolls. It is all not arranged in a very professional way, but thus offering the fun of being in a kind of an unconventional flea market-antique shop.Written 9 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's perfect for railway buffs although unfortunately all the information is in Russian but I'd say it's still worth a visit to see the photographs and exhibits. Downstairs are the exhibits but apparently upstairs has archives and is designed more for researchers, railways engineers. We were lucky that our guide could translate Yaroslav's guided tour to really get all the information. There is a section on how the railways were crucial in the Soviet victory in WWII/The Great Patriotic War.Written 17 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sue0712Sao Paulo, SP9 contributionsThe guide spoke good English and was also very friendly. The museum is small, but there are rare examples of large local Siberian stones, Tcharoite and Nefrit.
Pls note you should book your visit in advance and that the ticket is more expensive for foreigners, but still payable.Written 13 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
