This museum is devoted to one of Russia's most outstanding generals. Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov (1730-1800) was an able military strategist and army commander who came to his highest glory during the reigns of Catherine the Great and Paul I. Suvorov's charismatic personality won him the love of his troops, crucial for achieving military tasks that seemed almost impossible. On several occasions Suvorov was able to defeat the most prominent generals of Napoleonic France, even when it required crossing the Alps with several thousand troops.

When passing by this nice little building, take a look at two large mosaics which decorate its fac ade. Both are based on historical facts. The left mosaic is called "Suvorov Crossing the Alps", and the right one - "Suvorov leaves home for the campaign of 1799".
