More information on Kreiser Avrora (Cruiser Aurora)
The history of the cruiser Aurora is firmly intertwined with the 20th century story of St. Petersburg. During the communist period it was proudly revered as the ship that (allegedly) fired the shot that (allegedly) signaled the start of the October Revolution. The 7600 ton ship has been a museum since 1956, moored before the Nakhimov Naval Academy on a tributary just to the north of the Neva itself. Inside there is a reasonably interesting selection of photos, maps and uniforms as well as information about the ship's history. Admission is free.
