Hunting and Fishing Museum

The first and only musuem of outdoor sports in Russia was opened in 1988. The museum is located in the Central House of Hunters and Fishers. The main exhibition is called 'Biological Diversity' and consists of stuffed wild animals and birds, such as foxes, beavers, raccoons, pheasants, ducks and other animals. The gallery of hunting arms and equipment illustrates the development of hunting weapons in Russia. There are rifles and other hunting arms from the 19th and 20th centuries on display.  Tours in English are also available but if you are not a hunting fan I wouldn't recommend this place... not good for impressionable childrens either.

Kuz'minki Park

Many of the large estates in Moscow's suburbs and beyond were once owned by the country's rich pre-revolutionary aristocracy. This one  in particular was the property of the Golitsyn family. Despite such lofty origins, the park itself suffers from the effects of a major fire in 1915 and decades of Soviet neglect. This does not exactly make it pretty, but the eerie solitude make it a worthwhile escape destination from the city proper. Incidentally, the estate's Egyptian Pavilion now hosts a biological research center.
