Same garden, different vibe!
Just as the Latin American festival wrapped up, the Thai festival took over – right back in the Hermitage Garden.
Official opening is today at 6:00 pm with the Thai Ambassador speaking. And to close out Day 1 – a concert by Russian jazz legend Igor Butman.
I already tried on a traditional Thai headpiece – my face looks tense because it kept slipping off! Also caught a martial arts demo…

What secrets does old gold hide? 🤔
I'd never been interested in coin collecting, but yesterday changed everything. I went on a tour at the Museum of the International Numismatic Club for their program "From Symposium to Ball: Games of Gods and Emperors." I was surprised by how much coins can tell us if you know how to "read" them. ✨
The museum is small, but the halls are cozy and elegant. You can tell every display…

🇲🇽🇧🇷 LATIN AMERICA COMES TO MOSCOW 🇨🇺🇦🇷
Judging by your modest responses, organizing group tours right now doesn't seem to make much sense. Most likely, I'll bring back my English-language walks in the second half of August.
Meanwhile, I'll keep posting interesting bits about Moscow — hoping you're reading more actively than you're touring. 😅
So, this week, the "Inostranka" Library is turning into a little piece o…

Well, July hasn't exactly given us summer weather, has it?
You might have noticed I haven't been running as many group tours lately. The truth is, they're just not getting enough people signing up – partly because of the weather, but also because social media's been quiet and things feel uncertain at the moment. ☺️
Here are photos of some guests from India I took round the city centre yesterday. Who knows – maybe i…

LEGO HEAVEN IS HERE!
Do any of my followers love LEGO? I'm sure some of you have kids who are into this construction set. So here's a tip for you: pop over to the LEGO museum on Trubnaya Square. I've visited it today and honestly recommend it. ✅
🪵 It all started with wood...
I have to admit, I never thought that the LEGO world began not with those tiny plastic bricks, but with simple wooden toys. Back in the 1930s,…

Meet Falconie glass bricks at Savvinskoye Podvorye
In my last post, I showed you a window made of those so-called Falconier bricks, and it's located right in the stairwell of Savvinskoye Podvorye 🪟
But what exactly are these "bricks" that aren't really bricks? They're hollow glass blocks, hand-blown, invented by a Swiss architect named Gustave Falconier back in the late 19th century (check out the photo of the bloc…

Long time no riddle – let's change that. 🔍
Take a close look at this window and tell me in the comments:
❓ Question №1: what is the correct architectural name for these glass elements?
❓ Question №2: can you guess which famous building not far from Red Square has this window in its stairwell?
The first person to answer both questions correctly will get a 50% discount on any of my tours (in English or Russian), va…

Showing the 12 most recent of 15 posts we hold for @ivettamsk. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
