Angelina Korol: The Excursion to the Kuskovo

# data[].attributes.body
The excursion to the Kuskovo Museum was held on the twentieth of October, 2016. We went there on the school bus. During the trip we chatted with classmates and shared the information each of us knew about the Kuskovo Palace built in the 18th century. On that day it was cold outside. There is no central heating in the Palace and we got a little cold, but that didn't stop us from getting a good impression. First, we listened to the guide, showing us around the museum, and then I acted as a guide myself and spoke about an antique clock. We took a lot of pictures of the unique exhibits that keep the memory of my country’s historic past. After the tour we went to the gift shop. It is a pity I failed to buy the beautiful porcelain tea set I liked very much. I’m sure we didn’t see all the interesting things and I would like to visit this wonderful Museum once again.
