A
Lenin Museum
In Lenin’s later years, he and his family spent time at the 1830s Murozov manor house, set on lovely wooded grounds 32km southeast of the capital. Designed by Fyodor Shekhtel, it now houses a Lenin museum, where you can see a re-creation of Lenin’s Kremlin office, as well as his vintage Rolls Royce – one of only 15 such automobiles in the world. Bus 439 (R50, 30 minutes) leaves every 1½ hours for the estate from the Domodedovskaya metro station in Moscow. By car, follow the M4 highway (Kashirskoe sh) 11km past MKAD, then turn left to Gorki Leninskie.

B
National Museum
The National Museum is housed in a fantastically renovated art nouveau building. Despite the fancy name, most of the exhibits are standard Soviet history and stuffed animals, typical of a regional museum. The interesting exhibits on Bashkir history and current events are the exception.

Nesterov Art Gallery
The Nesterov Art Gallery, also recently renovated, contains a fabulous collection of artwork by the Ufa native Mikhail Nesterov and 50 paintings by Ukrainian futurist David Burlyuk, which he left in a Bashkir village when escaping from the Red Army during the Civil War.
