O ne of the few buildings on Red Square that is actually red, the State Historical Museum is the primary repository for artifacts of Russia's past. Its design echoes the onion domes that litter the city as well as the towers of the Kremlin. It is a perfect example of Russian architecture. Stern, but not severe. Graceful, but not whimsical. Elegant, but not flashy. Strong, yet welcoming. Interestingly, its construction was part of a larger plan to revitalize the city center.
