Borodino Panorama Museum?Why this museumRoubaud’s panorama is one of the few survivors of a genre that was the summit of 19th-century visual culture and has almost entirely vanished. The value lies in the machinery of the spectacle, not in the subject: this is how people looked before cinema.

8+With childrenThe panorama impresses children too, but it needs a story. From 8.wheelchairStep-free accessThe museum — partly. A ramp at the entrance and a lift up to the panorama; the Kutuzov hut in the yard is over uneven ground.
Getting there — step-free. Kutuzovskaya has no lift. There is parking along Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Moscow metro stations almost never have lifts to the platform, except on the Big Circle line and the MCC. A wheelchair user is better served by the surface buses, which are low-floor across the centre.1.5 hours
