A photo journey.
Yekaterinburg, Russia in November 2018.
Храм-на-Крови / The Church on the Blood








Музей Святой Царской Семьи / Museum of Holy Tsar Family












The church was incredibly somber. The museum had a lighter feel. People spoke louder, the coat check woman almost smiled. A little girl was screaming “Нет, нет!” at her parents as they tried to put the бахилы on her shoes. “Shhh,” they tried to calm her down. “This isn’t the hospital, it’s just a museum.“

You caught me at a museum! 🤣🤣🤣 My cover is blown! Anyway, it’d be awesome if we could visit this place together. 🙂

Old Russian art always creeps me out a bit. There’s something dark and ominous in their art that is reflective of their history and culture.

Yes, it’s definitely very somber art. Thanks for your comment, David!
