Choose by history and sights
Choose the Borodino Panorama Museum for Franz Roubaud's huge painting of the battle. Allow about an hour and a half. An older official page gives it as closed on Friday and on the last Thursday of each month.
Choose Victory Park and the Victory Museum for the Second World War. The park is free and open at any time, while the museum has a separate time-slot ticket for its main building and another for the open-air area. The museum is closed on Monday and open late on other days. Allow three to five hours with the open-air area.
Choose Park Pobedy metro station even without a museum visit: it is the deepest station in the Moscow Metro, with long escalators and large murals.
