This is the main product from the series devoted to the Moscow Kremlin as it gives the PC users an opportunity to move freely in three dimensional space and thus form a complete image of the world’s biggest historical and architectural museum complex of the Kremlin and adjoining territory.

In future software products with interiors of the cathedrals, museums and palaces of the Kremlin are planned to be produced (including the exhibition of the Diamond Fund of Russia housed in the Armory), so that the users could tour not only the museums but also the objects which are not open to the general public
