The legend says the Romanovs’ Chambers in Zaryadie, close to Red Square, were the birthplace of the first Romanov – Michail Fiodorovitch. In 1859 by the order of Alexander II one of the first memorial museums in Russia was established there. At the moment this museum displays furniture, clothing and utensils, and shows the daily life of boyars (medieval Russian noblemen in the service of the Tsar), because this was the residence of the first Romanov Tsar’s parents, who were boyars.
The palace dates back to the 16-17th centuries. It was rebuilt several times and in the 19th century it was restored in the old Russian style. Today, it is a museum of Moscow old everyday life and applied art.
