One of the newest museums in St. Petersburg is the interesting “Museum of Water”, which is located within the walls of the waterworks. The station was built in 1861, and by the 300th anniversary of the city it was restored, and now the museum is located here. It is not easy to climb to the uppermost floors of the tower, especially for people with disabilities, as well as older people. Especially for this built elevator.
Monument to the water carrier at the entrance to the water museum
At the entrance to the museum there is a monument to a water carrier, which is made of bronze. It was established in 2003, and is timed to the opening of the museum. Museum guides will tell you about the history of water, its strength and use in ancient civilizations. Very brightly in the “Water Museum” it is told about the creation of a water utility, not a lot of information about the Neva.
The Museum of Water in St. Petersburg has three major expositions: a multimedia complex, an exhibition hall, and a historical exposition.

The question about pros and cons of city and village life has recently become very acute. More and more people leave their city flats and move to detached houses in villages or simple small country houses. They realize that anything is better than city smoke, pollution and noise.
Speaking of advantages of city life, which are left behind, we should mention the variety of cultural establishments which are very important for modern generation and their further education. I mean libraries, theaters, museums, art galleries, concert halls, large bookstores, colleges, universities and other city institutions. Many people simply can't live without going out to posh restaurants, coffee houses, pizza and sushi places. Such pastime has become increasingly popular. That's why most young people, especially students, try to stay in the city.
However, when they become older and wiser, they understand that nothing can be better than fresh country air in the morning.
Here I'd like to mention the main advantages of villages. First of all, it's the absence of pollution which comes from modern factories and numerous cars. Thus, the air in the country is much cleaner. Secondly, it's the absence of rush and noise. As a result, people in the village can sleep longer and healthier. The following proverb is true for them: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Most villages are surrounded by astounding views. There are thick forests, crystal clear lakes, mountain rivers and other natural wonders. And that's another reason why people tend to spend more time in the countryside.
Перевод:
Вопрос о преимуществах и недостатках городской и деревенской жизни в последнее время стал очень актуальным. Все больше и больше людей покидают свои городские квартиры и переезжают в частные дома в деревнях или просто в небольшие дачные дома. Они понимают, что все лучше, чем городской дым, загрязнение и шум.
Говоря о преимуществах городской жизни, о которых мы забываем, следует отметить многообразие культурных учреждений, которые очень важны для современного поколения и их дальнейшего образования. Я имею в виду библиотеки, театры, музеи, художественные галереи, концертные залы, книжные супермаркеты, колледжи, университеты и прочие городские учреждения. Многие люди просто не могут жить без шикарных ресторанов, кафе, пиццерий и суши ресторанов. Такое времяпрепровождение становится все более популярным. Вот почему большинство молодых людей, особенно студенты, стараются быть в городе.
Тем не менее, когда они становятся старше и мудрее, они понимают, что ничто не может быть лучше, чем свежий деревенский воздух по утрам.
Здесь я хотел бы отметить основные преимущества сельской жизни. Прежде всего, это отсутствие загрязнения, которое идет от современных заводов и большого количества машин. Таким образом, воздух в деревнях гораздо чище. Во-вторых, это отсутствие суеты и шума. В результате, у людей в деревне сон дольше и более здоровый. Про них верна следующая пословица: «Кто рано ложится и рано встает, здоровье, богатство и ум наживет». Большая часть деревень окружена поразительными пейзажами. Это густые леса, кристально чистые озера, горные реки и другие природные красоты. И это еще одна причина, по которой люди хотят проводить больше времени в сельской местности.
