1)There are many interesting museums, exhibition halls and art galleries in the world and people love visiting them. They are especially popular among art lovers and people who prefer food for thought. Apart from art museums, there are many other types of exhibitions, such as historical, scientific, zoological, ethnographic, armoury, naval, etc. Museums of local lore are also interesting. They show how people lived and worked in this region. The most famous Russian museums are the State Tretyakov Art Gallery and the Museum of Fine Arts named after Pushkin in Moscow, and the State Hermitage in Saint-Petersburg. The Hermitage houses more than 350 exhibition halls with a very rich collection of art works. The largest Museum of Great Britain is the British Museum, which is famous for its huge library. The most famous museum in France is the Louvre. I have once visited the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and it was an unforgettable experience. There I understood that art reflects life and appeals to our hearts and minds. This museum has one of the largest collections of the ancient, oriental and classical art in the world. Apart from paintings, I saw some outstanding sculptures there. The Pushkin Museum also holds one of the biggest collections of Ancient Egyptian Art. The Tretyakov Gallery is also huge and it contains mainly the works of famous Russian artists. One day isn’t enough to see all of its masterpieces. The museum has seven departments with portraits, seascapes, landscapes and other genres of painting. To sum up, I’d like to say that all museums are interesting and they give us an opportunity to learn something new about different nations and countries.
2)The magnificent Palace of Hampton Court (Hampton Court Palace) is located in the bend of the Thames in the west of London.
The palace, built in the beginning of the XVI century, for a century and a half was the favorite residence of the English monarchs.
At the end of the XVII century, King William III began the reconstruction of the palace, but did not have time to finish it, since during a horse walk through the palace garden, he suffered a great deal, falling from the horse.
From severe trauma the king did not recover and soon died. After that, the monarch's love for the palace cooled, he came to desolation. Already in the XIX century, the legendary Queen Victoria ordered to renovate the palace and open it to the general public.
Visitors to Hampton Court have been admiring the magnificent palace garden for a century and a half. Ponds, trees, elegant French shrubs, hedges, graceful rose gardens ... Especially beautiful in the summer. Also here it grows, and to this day the vineyard planted in 1768 is bearing fruit.
The famous site of interest is the Hampton Court maze. The labyrinth was designed and planted with hedges as far back as 1690 and to this day, it remains one of the largest labyrinths in Europe.
To us this ancient labyrinth of bushes is known, first of all, thanks to writer Jerome K. Jerome. It was there that Jerome's characters wandered in one of the chapters of the novel "Three in a boat, not counting a dog".
The most notable objects inside the Hampton Court Palace are the chic Great Hall of Henry VIII, whose medieval interior is elegantly decorated with ancient tapestries commissioned by King Henry himself, the Royal Chapel, to which Anglican services are still held, and the room where the precious crown of the 17th century is kept.
 Special attention should be paid to the medieval toilet bowl of the same King Henry VIII. It is said that the king possessed an extensive collection of exclusive stools for this toilet bowl.
Despite the fact that Hampton Court Palace is located within the limits of London and is less than 20 kilometers from the center, it is best to get there by train.
Since there are no metro stations near to Hampton Court, and on the bus the road can be long and confusing. From Waterloo station, from central London, trains to Hampton Court depart every half hour.
The road to the Hampton Court station takes about 35 minutes. From the station you only need to cross the bridge, and you will find yourself at the front entrance to the famous palace.
The palace and its luxurious gardens open daily at 10 am. In winter they close at 16-30, in the summer at 18-00. Weekend at the Palace - only three days a year - 24, 25 and 26 December - Christmas holidays.
By the way, if you reached Hampton Court, then, after spending half a day in the palace and its gardens, you can also visit the nearby Royal Park of the Bush. This is the former royal hunting ground, where to this day, completely roam deer, roe deer, badgers, and also permanently live a lot of rare English birds
