The Moscow Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in Europe and the fourth largest zoo in Russia after the zoos of Yaroslavl, Rostov-on-Don and Novosibirsk. Founded in 1864. Has a stable number of visitors per year - up to 3.5 million people. Included in the top ten zoos in the world in terms of attendance. In 1862, an animal exhibition was held in the Moscow Manege, organized by the Committee for the Acclimatization of Animals and Plants. At the end of the exhibition, the organizers have left many living "exhibits" in their hands. Then the question arose of opening a zoological garden in Moscow. The main initiator of its creation was Professor of Moscow University Anatoly Petrovich Bogdanov. Several options for the location of the zoo were considered: Izmailovo, Tsaritsyno, Presnenskie ponds. The choice was made in favor of Presnya. The decisive factor was the sufficient proximity to the city center, which means convenience for potential visitors. One of the ponds was filled in to create a “living museum in the open air,” and neighboring plots of land were purchased from private individuals. And on January 31, 1864 (February 12, NS), the Moscow Zoological Garden was opened. An interesting fact. In 1681, near the Presnenskie ponds was built country palace Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich. At the tsar's residence there was the Amusement Courtyard, for which, in 1685, 13 pine and one-and-a-half boards were lowered “for the work of a chest for a polar bear”, and “the kindest wheels” were made under this chest. Thus, the first menagerie existed in Presnya back in the 17th century. The first buildings of the Zoological Garden were designed by the architect P.S. Campioni. He also brought to Moscow a group of animals donated by the Paris Acclimatization Garden. Many animal lovers donated money to the Zoo, presented animals. The commander of the frigate "Svetlana" I.I. Butakov brought from circumnavigation collection of Australian animals. Emperor Alexander II presented an elephant. In the late 1870s - early 1880s, the Botanical Department of the Zoological Garden operated the "Family Garden", arranged by the famous entrepreneur M.V. Lentovsky. In subsequent years, additional pavilions and aviaries were built in the Zoo. At the same time, famous Moscow architects worked here: L.N. Kekushev, S.K. Rodionov. At the end of the 19th century, at the corner of B. Gruzinskaya and B. Presnenskaya (now Krasnaya Presnya) streets, instead of a simple wooden arch, an elegant entrance with two towers appeared, designed by the architect K.K. Gippius. There was a Biological Station, the building of which in the neoclassical style was erected according to the project of R.I. Klein (Konyushkovskaya street, building 31, building 1). The zoo suffered significantly during the events of 1905: a number of buildings were destroyed, the library burned down, and the Aquarium was destroyed. In 1919 the Zoological Garden was nationalized. In subsequent years, its territory increased significantly, scientific laboratories and research units were created, and it itself received a new, familiar name for us - the Zoo. In 1936, a new entrance was built in the Zoo, according to the project of sculptors V.A. Vatagina and D.V. Gorlova, which existed until 1964. By the 850th anniversary of Moscow, in the 1990s, the Zoo was reconstructed (the work was carried out by MNIIP "Mosproekt 4"). A new entrance group has appeared, a number of new aviaries, various thematic exhibitions. Currently, the Moscow Zoo contains more than 1,100 species and almost 8,000 specimens of various representatives of the fauna.
The Roman Catholic Cathedral on Malaya Gruzinskaya is a place for lovers of highly spiritual organ music. It is surprising to everyone: the neo-Gothic architecture atypical for Moscow, rich interior decoration and music that takes listeners to another century. The rich poster is a merit of the Art of Kindness charitable foundation, which organizes all the concerts. The proceeds go to charity.
This Moscow church is popular not only among the guests of the capital, but also among its indigenous inhabitants. More than 120 thousand people visit it annually. In addition to sacred music, events that are not quite typical for this place are also held here: they perform rock ballads, music from “ The little prince", The choir of the English school and much more.
Organ concerts for everyone
The famous Kuhn organ is installed in the Moscow Cathedral on Malaya Gruzinskaya. In terms of size, the instrument ranks fourth among the organs of Russia. It is located on the second floor of the church, so in order for people to watch the playing process, a screen is installed in the hall on which the organist with the instrument is broadcast.
There are shops in the temple, so you can sit comfortably and listen to music. If you are going to a concert in winter, it is recommended to dress warmer, as it will definitely be cool.
