The Vladimir-Suzdal Historical, Artistic, and Architectural Museum-Reserve is located in the Vladimir region and unites unique monuments of Russian architecture, including residential, defensive, and church buildings. Among its most significant collections are numismatics, archaeology, ancient Russian art, and painting. The museum-reserve includes architectural monuments located in the cities of Vladimir, Suzdal, and Gus-Khrustalny, as well as in the villages of Bogolyubovo and Kideksha. In 2014, the estate of Kharpovitsky in Muromtsevo was added to its composition.

The museum-reserve was established in September 1958 based on two small museums in Vladimir and Suzdal and is now one of the leading museum associations in Russia.

It comprises 56 architectural monuments, primarily dating from the ancient Russian period of the 12th and early 18th centuries. These include church and civil buildings made of stone and wood, both as individual structures and entire architectural complexes. Some monuments date back to the gubernatorial period of the late 18th and early 20th centuries, but the most valuable are the white-stone structures of the 12th and 13th centuries. The museum has organized 35 exhibitions in three cities, and eight monuments and ensembles are included in the UNESCO World Heritage list under the name 'White-stone Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal.'
