一个很小型的博物馆,摄影的费用比门前的费用还要贵三倍,不过没什么可以看的,就是展现两国的友谊
能看到英国风格的房子,室内的陈设,用品都是英国的,还有介绍短片呢。

The Old English Court in Moscow?Yes there is a history that goes with it.Back in the old days, the building was a 'present' to a group of English merchants by Ivan the Terrible, making it technically the oldest 'residence for foreign representation' in the country. Then in 1994, it was opened as a museum, to coincide with the state visit of Queen Elizabeth II in 1994.The museum contains two exhibitions entitled "Medieval Russia from the Eyes of a Foreigner" and "The History of Anglo-Russian Relations". The museum also hold regular 'early music' concerts which are always fascinating.
In the mid-sixteenth century an English merchant named Richard Chancellor was shipwrecked and taken to the Russian Court of Ivan the Terrible. Chancellor and Ivan got along famously, and Ivan was told about the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, and Ivan sent Chancellor back to England with a marriage proposal. Elizabeth was interested, but she sent Chancellor back to Moscow and he was given this property to facilitate trade between the two countries.
