Yes, I would like to visit the ice museum because it seems like it would be a very interesting experience. The museum is totally unlike any other museum I have heard about or visited.

Red Square is one of the most popular tourist attractions the people visiting Moscow. The square hasn’t always been the marvelous place it is now. It used to be a collection of rough huts where beggars and criminals lived. It hasn’t always had the name Red Square either; it used to be called Trinity Square after a church. It’s not called Red Square because of red architecture; the Russian word that now means ‘red,’ once meant ‘beautiful.’ The square is known for St Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, but nowadays it is also used for concerts, fashion shows and even circus acts.
