Opened last month the furniture museum is a fascinating place. Set in its own beautiful 18th-century mansion, the exhibition focuses on Russian work – especially the intricate work by serfs in the 18th and 19th-century – but also has a wide collection of modern furniture, from a stool shaped as Salvador Dali’s ear to a chair with an elbow rest shaped as Nostradamus hand holding a magic ball. Other highlights are a chest of drawers that turn into a writing desk and a sofa with a zipper dedicated to President Clinton.
