history

The beginnings of the museum go back to 1887, when the former Kutuzov wooden hut, which burned down in 1812, was rebuilt near the present museum building. This wooden house, in which the Russian generals around the military leader Mikhail Kutuzov gathered for consultations during the Battle of Borodino in September 1812 , is an important part of the museum exhibition today.

The museum in its current form was opened in 1962 together with the cylindrical main building. The building was designed by the architects A. Korabelnikow, S. Kuchanow and A. Kuzmin. Its most important exhibit is the panoramic painting Battle of Borodino by the Russian artist Franz Roubaud , who created it in 1912 for the 100th anniversary of the battle.

The museum complex also includes the chapel of St. Michael the Archistrate built in 1912 and a monument in honor of the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812, the work of the sculptor Nikolai Tomski, erected in 1973.
