Animal theatre

User Review:

• Animals Theater by Grandpa V.L .Durov - I know from the first years of my life especially because I lived not far from it. But it's familiar not only to residents of Moscow and Russian cities, but also to many visitors from other countries. And indeed - this is an unusual house, there is no such kind of a place like this all over the world. Here you can feel peace and harmony between man and nature and see living fairy tale and reality. This wonderful place was open January 8, 1912 by Vladimir L. Durov - famous circus artist, clown and satirist, trainer, writer, scientist, zoopsychologists, the first Honored Circus Artist of Russia. He developed his method of training - abandoned the whip and the stick when working with animals. "Cruelty is humiliating, but kindness can be beautiful" - claimed Durov. There is a lot of wonderful entertaintment here: Cat's House, Mouse train Station and so on. Durov's daughter continued his work. This place is also extensive natural history museum and zoopsycological laboratory where well-known scientist Academician V.M. Bekhterev fulfilled his experiments. Visit this wonderful theater and you'll get a lot of joy and fun.
