The Aleksandr Suvorov State Memorial Museum was opened in 1904 just over a century after the death of the Russian generalissimo who is famed for never losing a single battle. The building where the museum is located was built especially for use as a museum and resembles a watchtower of a traditional Russian fortress. In the 1930s the museum was closed but it was reopened in 1951. Today the museum has many exhibits on the life and career of Suvorov and displays many military artefacts from his era.
