exposition

    The central hall of the museum amazes with its space, simplicity and solemnity. A dominant feature  of the hall is a stained-glass window  showing  Suvorov  in  a  majestic pose  in the style of smart portraits of 18th century. There are bas-reliefs with two-headed 

eagles recreated  under  the  dome.  The  restored  memorial  board  in  the  memory  of  participation  of  emperor  Nikolay  II  in  the celebration of opening of Suvorov museum on November 13, 1904 (Old Style) is placed above the entrance. In front of the stained-glass window, framed by the guns, there is an eminence with show-windows showing fighting awards, letters and a hand arm of the commander. In the niches behind the central show-window of the hall there is a reconstruction of the room of the house in Konchanskye village where Suvorov was kept under banishment, and a composition of the items of the house in Glaris and "Suvorov's room" in St. Joseph's monastery in Mutten valley where Suvorov stopped during the Swiss campaign. Other niches and show-windows of the hall expose trophies of the Russian army, and the walls are decorated by the Russian and trophy Turkish banners.
