Housed in an old brick water tower, the Murrarium features the largest private collection of cat-themed art in all of Russia, a feline-fixated country if there ever was one. There are more than 3500 pieces on display, some kitsch, some comely; even if you're not a cat person, the views from the tower make a visit worthwhile.
