On a visit to Cheburashka
You don't have to go far for a fairy tale - it is right here, in the capital of the country, in the Kozhukhovo microdistrict. At the entrance you will be greeted by Cheburashka himself with his best friend, the crocodile Gena. There is also a real telephone booth, in which, according to legend, the character of Eduard Uspensky lived.
By the way, this part of the exposition was conceived by the writer: the most difficult thing was to find a payphone - after all, by the time the museum was created, they had not been produced for a long time! I even had to turn to the Moscow City Telephone Network for help, and a real phone booth was assembled from two retro copies.
Inside the museum there is an exhibition of children's works: more than a hundred Cheburashkas and other characters from the cartoon - and drawings, and crafts, and soft toys.
The museum conducts excursions where kids are told about cartoon characters. And here you can also see the legendary typewriter of Eduard Uspensky, on which this urban fairy tale was printed.

Along the way, we will mention that I have developed a whole route - "The German Fairy Tale Road", passing from Bremen, where the cat, dog, donkey and rooster gained fame, to Hanau, hometown brothers Grimm. A 600 km long road connecting magical medieval towns, goes past the castles of Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel, past the possessions of Lady Blizzard, through Hamelin, where the Pied Piper lived, and Bodenwerder - the estate of Baron Munchausen.

Amazing and fabulous place a must-visit for every parent who comes to the capital with their child. And if you are a resident of Moscow and have not yet visited the Buratino-Pinocchio Museum, then this is completely unforgivable. Here you can plunge into the amazing, fantastic world of this well-known story.
Visiting Buratino
Once at the Pinocchio Museum, you can wander around wonderful worldin which these heroes lived, or book excursions. They are themed here, for every taste - "Papa Carlo and his dolls", "Buratino and Malvina meet friends."
With the help of the museum staff, you will actually visit the country of Buratinia. Few would refuse such an offer. You can stroll along the narrow Italian street where the now famous carpenter Pope Carlo lives in his closet. Be sure to visit him. Or try to find the coveted golden key in the pond where the tortoise Tortilla lives on your own.
The children will be told in detail about Pinocchio, the ancestor of Buratino, who was invented by the Italian storyteller Carlo Collodi in 1883. And also about his Russian analogue Buratino, about which Alexei Tolstoy wrote in 1936.
It is surprising for both children and adults that not only in Russia storytellers imitated Collodi. There are similar plots, for example, in German fairy-tale literature - this is Zepfel Kern by Otto Bierbaum. You can learn this and much more about heroes loved from childhood if you come to the Museum of Pinocchio.
Pinocchio and his friends
Together with his friends, the main character of the fairy tale is ready to conduct various excursions for visitors.
In the new program of the museum, the children will be able to meet the beautiful Malvina, who will teach the restless Buratino and all the children who come to visit him in the basic rules of etiquette. For example, how to behave at the table, in the theater, at a party, how to communicate politely with each other. So this excursion will be not only interesting, but also informative.
The main thing that everyone who decided to visit the House-Museum of Buratino-Pinocchio is advised is to read the tale carefully in advance. Then it will be even more interesting and fun.
