In 2006 the International Guild of Masters opened the Russian Levsha Miniature Museum which gets its name and inspiration from the short story Levsha by Ivan Turgenev - a statue of whom is located nearby.  In the story Levsha is a master craftsman who managed to create miniature masterpieces and this museum displays various items on a miniature scale, such as horse-shoes on a flea and carvings of camels inside the head of a needle.
