A vodka museum is being opened in St. Petersburg

After a brewing museum in St.-Petersburg, there will be also ф museum of Russian vodka. The opening of the exhibition will take place on the 16th of October at the very heart of the city on Konnogvardeysky Boulevard, 4. The first time a vodka museum opened in St. Petersburg was in 2001. However, after four years it was closed - the house where it was located was used as a hotel. At that, the creators of the museum throughout the years continued to replenish the collection and sought the opportunity to present it again. A new premise was found just in front of the old one. Relocation and reconstruction have benefited the museum - a collection enriched with new exhibits and archival documents, which in details, illustrate more than the 500-year history of vodka in Russia.
