Gzhel ceramics and contemporary art of Kolomna.

We start our day in the factory town of Ramenskoye. The hilly park and the Cathedral of the Life-Giving Trinity near Lake Borisoglebsk. A monument to a family of deer, probably from Soviet times, and a vacant Ferris wheel.

An ancient village of potters. Existing factories and numerous private masters. Already in the XVIII century Gzhel became known throughout Russia artistic craft.
Employees of the factory are pleased to conduct excursions, telling about the life of folk craftsmen, craft development and features of Gzhelian ceramics, which allow you to distinguish the real product from the fake.
It is better to arrange the visit in advance by phone at site.

Comfortable parking. Lunch on the summer terrace overlooking the Moskva River. We recommend seafood and refreshments.

The center of the city of Kolomna. Behind the door to the museum a whole separate world opens: a small market and a tiny cafe. The shops sell souvenir jam, honey and, of course, marshmallows of all kinds of local production.

In a wooden house with old carved platbands, Russian avant-garde of the XX century is collected. It is attractive that all this is located on the territory of the Kremlin. Naive art. Weekends: Monday, Tuesday.

In the very center of the city, overlooking the Kolomna Kremlin, Venedikt Yerofeyev, a student of the Pedagogical Institute, worked as a loader in the wine department of a grocery store.
Now there is an original art-space, one of the rooms of which, of course, is devoted to the writer's everyday life and in general to the era of his youth. In the rest of the rooms the life of today flows: musical and theatrical performances, exhibitions of modern Russian and European artists.

Embankment in the bedroom community of the city. The beach on the shore of the Oka. Benches from Soviet times, sand and hills. Access by car is possible to the very shore.

Parking. Sunny in the afternoon nice to sit on the summer veranda. Quite a successful pub, in terms of price range and menu variety it corresponds to the institutions of the capital.
