You Should Plan Plenty of Time to Visit!
One rainy day in Kazan we had about an hour to kill before a tour started. We decided to stop in and thought it would be a short look around....We were mistaken. We quickly realized that we hadn’t enough to time, so we ended up coming back later that evening. It is a pretty interesting place to spend a couple of hours just browsing and playing with the different pieces of Soviet life. It was a very interactive place where you can touch and wear many of the items. They also have some interesting vintage souvenirs that are more unique. I even got a piece of “black market” bubble gum from the 90’s! They also have a rock ‘n roll hall of fame. The owner (Rustem) was so friendly and passionate about the place that it is contagious. I really enjoyed the visit and would recommend it to anyone visiting Kazan. Worth a stop and give yourself more time than you’d think.

Unusual and interesting historical place with Soviet soul
Very good place for nostalgia and knowing about everyday life and some staff of Soviet Union times. This museum is small but there are a lot of exhibits of clothes, shoes, hats - you can touch and try everything on you. This Museum has paring tickets with special price offer with The Museum of Soviet Union childhood. But I think Soviet history museum is more interesting and completed, so it’s enough to visit only this one, it doesn’t necessary to go to Childhood museum.
