The museum was founded by the descendants of an old strelets family — the famous restoration artist from Kostroma, P.A.Piskarev and his son, scientist, writer and local historian D.P.Piskarev.
The museum is located on the right bank of the Volga River, opposite the Ipatievsky Monastery and other attractions of the city’s historical center. From there you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city. As a partner of Tripster, the largest online tour booking service in Russia, the museum offers authorized tours of Kostroma (The Legends of the Kostroma Volga Region, The Hospitable Kostroma, An Evening on the Volga: The Panorama of Kostroma, and The Strelets House), music nights and interactive events.
The museum’s expositions are dedicated to the times when Ivan IV the Terrible created the first Streltsy unit and the stay of the Streltsy on the Kostroma land. Another part of the exhibition tells about the famous entomologist I. M. Rubinsky, whose collection of butterflies and beetles is kept in the Nature Museum of the Kostroma region.
