The Summer Palace of Tsar Alexis Mikahilovich at Kolomenskoye

Reconstruction of the palace began in 2007. The first visitors were received last year, but the royal chambers were only open to the public for one month. Then the building was closed again in order to complete work on recreating the 17th-century interiors. The palace welcomed the media on February 1st, 2011, but remained closed to the public until just recently. Now that the reconstruction of the interiors has been completed, builders have handed over the project to the museum-reserve, who have formally taken control of the palace, and opened its doors to the public, just in time for the summer tourist season in Moscow. The palace will offer guests tours of the private apartments of Tsar Alexis, as well as various exhibitions throughout the year.
