The museum was opened on Kutuzovsky Prospekt on October 18, 1962. The museum was designed to feature one exhibit only: the panorama that Franz Roubaud had painted for the centenary of the defeat of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, known as the Patriotic War of 1812.
The museum now contains a hall of virtual reality. A 3D film currently in preparation will be presented there which shows the Borodino panorama in a new light. Photo: A student at the First Moscow Cadet Corps looks at the map of the battle on a plasma screen.
On display are unique items dating back to 1812, which have never been shown before. The items include personal belongings of Mikhail Golenishchev-Kutuzov, and other participants of the Napoleonic Wars.
Visitors can also see battle pieces, portraits of heroes, armament, and equipment of the two fighting armies. Photo: Students at the First Moscow Cadet Corps see exhibits at the museum.
The exposition “Kutuzov Hut,” dedicated to the military council in Fili, was opened a month before the museum itself. At present, the exposition is housed at Kutuzovsky Prospekt near the panorama museum. Photo: A student at a cadet school near the portraits of heroes of the 1812 war.
