Harasho!

This would be an excellent day trip. Many of the items in this museum are from private collections, and have never been shown in public. “[It is] the world’s largest private holding of Russian books, manuscripts, newspapers, and periodicals.”

For future reference, it’s on the third floor of Webster Hall (“located on the South side of the College quad — a brick building overlooking the Mount Holyoke range. If you enter by the left-hand staircase and go up one flight, you will arrive at the door of the Center”), and we should probably call ahead to 413-542-8204.
