THE RUSSIAN VODKA MUSEUM

The first tavern where one could buy vodka was opened in Russia in 1533. The beverage was brought into the country even earlier, at the beginning of the 15th century. The museum dedicated to vodka was opened in St Petersburg just recently, in 2001. It is the only museum of this sort in the world. The exhibition of the museum contains various materials, including a great collection of vodka bottles. One of the distinguished features of the museum is that visitors can taste vodka in the special room.
