Lonely Planet review for Borodino Panorama

Following the vicious but inconclusive battle at Borodino in August 1812, Moscow’s defenders retreated along what are now Kutuzovsky pr and ul Arbat, pursued by Napoleon’s Grand Army. Today, about 3km west of Novoarbatsky most and Hotel Ukraina (where Russian commander Mikhail Kutuzov stopped for a war council) is the Borodino Panorama, a pavilion with a giant 360-degree painting of the Borodino battle. Standing inside this tableau of bloodshed – complete with sound effects – is a powerful way to visualise the event.

    Can you see where the painting ends?

    makscross recommends this,

    It's really interesting, as a build up you get to look around all sorts of old military uniform and paintings, and when you get to the panorama, it's really hard to figure out where the painting ends, and the models begin. Don't be intimidated by the guards, they're really lovely, but don't take pictures without a permit as they will get cross. Be prepared to be sharing the room with screaming kids, as they get taken here on school trips.
