Kolomenskaya Pastila
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the historic town of Kolomna, this isn't your typical museum. Instead of hushed halls, you step right into a 19th-century confectionery workshop where actors in period dress are actually making the famous local pastila. You get to see the whole process, from whipping the sweet Antonovka apple puree with egg whites to the slow drying in old wooden stoves. The best part? They offer you warm, fluffy samples right off the drying trays—it’s like a sweet, chewy cloud that melts in your mouth.
Collection Highlights
The main event is watching the live recreation of pastila-making and tasting the fresh result; they also have beautiful vintage candy wrappers and original recipes on display.
Visitor Information
It's a good idea to book your spot ahead of time since the 'performances' run on a schedule. You'll find it at Ulitsa Posadskaya 13A, and trust me, you'll want to buy a box or two from their little shop to take home.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a charming, old merchant's house—a cozy wooden building with intricate window frames that feels perfectly frozen in time.
