Visited yesterday and met the very enthusiastic and interesting owner. A small but fun museum with plenty of souvenirs, trinkets and exhibits from the fascinating Soviet past.Would recommend for an hour or two.

I understand the museum will give more perspective to those that lived in those era and with the things shown in the museum but it's still great fun to walk around, play with the things on display. Great reminiscences of thing from our past with interesting exhibits.

Had a great time in this small but interactive place. The displayed items caused some nostalgia and created a great museum effect. The youn lady working there was really congenial.

The title of the museum pledges various stuff about Soviet life, but what you see is just some toys, instruments (remnants of foreign singers), badges. And half of the stuff is not very original. Moreover, the museum is not like a museum, it's very small and it takes maybe half an hour to see everything at most.

I've never been to a museum quite like it. It feels more like a hoarders attic but slightly better organised when you first go in. There is, apparently random, stuff everywhere and the idea seems to be more to 'get the feel of' the time and place rather than learn anything/have a structured visit.It was interesting seeing all the artefacts of everyday life but I'd have loved to have had more information. On the other hand, it was unusual and interesting to be able to touch almost all the exhibits - try on clothes and play games! However, if you're on your own, as I was you're probably going to be feel too embarrassed to really get the most out of that side of things. This probably isn't going to satisfy the 'traditional' museum goer (such as myself) but it is a fun and interesting enough place to visit if you're not seeking a highly organised or highly informative museum. My advice - take a friend and a camera.

This was fun and extremely interactive. Visitors are encouraged to dress up in old costumes to be photographed and there are many interesting reminders of life in the former Soviet Union. This is not for lovers of more formal exhibitions!

The best place to feel like in USSR. Every little showpiece is an original part of the past! Even the bathroom is decorated like it was 60 years ago.

Currently teaching in Russia. Visiting Kazan with my wife who is visiting. We were brought here by a group of University students from Kazan. This place is amazing! Tons of music/rock and roll memorabilia....a denim/Levis collection...really interesting signs, toys, uniforms. The owner is a really wonderful guy---really passionate about his collection. He'll stop and talk to you about all kinds of things. If you're looking for gifts, there are tons of patches, buttons, magnets for sale...some kitschy, some very cool. Don't miss it!!!

What was mundane life like in the Societ era? What did people wear? What was on the television? What do Lada badges look like? Many of the local young people seem to like this museum. So did I.
