James Cook
The site pays tribute to Whitby's greatest seaman and introduces the Museum, which is housed in the building where James Cook lodges as an apprentice seaman. The Museum has a collection of exhibits about Cook's Whitby years and his later achievements, and includes unique items of great historical importance.It was to this house that in 1746 James Cook, then a youth aged seventeen, came to be apprenticed to Captain John Walker of Grape Lane. Here he learnt the seaman's skills, sailing out of Whitby on Walker's ships. It all began here, in the house by the harbour.
There are four floors of rooms to visit in the house- each one with its own different character. The ground floor rooms are furnished according to an inventory of items in the house in 1751, as Cook would have known them.

Oliver Cromwell

Mahatma Gandhi
The origin of this Museum goes back to the period soon after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on the fateful evening of January 30, 1948, when the slow process of scouting for, collecting and preserving the personal relics, manuscripts, books, journals and documents, photographic and audio-visual material, all that could go into a Museum on the life, philosophy and work of Gandhiji--began in an unostentatious way in Mumbai.
The Museum was named 'Gandhi Memorial Museum' (Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya), now commonly known as 'National Gandhi Museum' (Rashtriya Gandhi Sangrahalaya) as there are also a number of regional Gandhi memorial museums in India.

Thomas Jefferson

As public official, historian, philosopher, and plantation owner, he served his country for over five decades.
Monticello is the his autobiographical masterpiece, designed and redesigned and built and rebuilt for more than forty years. Jefferson described the house as his "essay in architecture," but today it is recognized as an international treasure.

Joan of Arc

On 30th May 1431, Joan of Arc was burnt at the square of the old market in Rouen. 30 meters from the spot, the Joan of Arc museum has been open for 40 years. In a roman style cellar, which displays the times of Jan of Arc, are assembled models of the castle and the old market place of 1431 in drawing, books, with an example of a suit of armour and the standard devoted to the heroine, stamps and historical relics which have been updated these last few years. Climbing up from the basement, which has the astmosphere of a crypt, the visitors re-live, from Domremy to Rouen , the life of Joan of Arc in the waxwork gallery which includes about 50 characters of striking reality.

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Lenin was history’s first Marxist and working class leader to head the popular movement that put into practice the scientific theories of Communism. He was the first to direct a victorious proletarian revolution, and the first leader of a Socialist state.
The museum has undertaken to preserve, exhibit and research the objects, documents and symbols of the Soviet era. The Tampere Lenin museum, first of its kind outside the Soviet Union, has developed into a widely acclaimed institute of culture and research. The downfall of the Soviet Union and the whole Socialist block have left the museum the last regularly operating museum of its kind in the whole world.

Abraham Lincoln
The house of Abraham Lincoln, the only home he ever owned, was constructed in 1839 as a 1 1/2-story cottage. Abraham and Mary Lincoln lived here from 1844 until Mr. Lincoln's election to the Presidency in 1861. The home, which has been restored to its 1860s appearance, reveals Lincoln as husband, father, politician, and President-elect. It stands in the midst of a four-block historic neighborhood, which the National Park Service is restoring so that the neighborhood, like the house, will appear much as Lincoln would have remembered it.
The web site has complete information on visiting Lincoln Home, as well as virtual tours and photographs, and a variety of Lincoln quotes and related reference materials.

Giuseppe Mazzini
Giuseppe Mazzini was an important Italian politician, patriot and revolutionary during the Risorgimento.
He was born in 1805 in Genova, in the house that now accommodates the Mazzini Institute and the Risorgimento Museum.
When he was old and sick, he moved to Pisa and he lived by Rosselli family.
He died in Rosselli's house in 1872.In the1952, it became the "Domus Mazziniana".

Napoleone Bonaparte
The Napoleonic Museum, dedicated to the figure of Napoleone and Bonaparte family, occupies the ground floor of Primoli Palace.
It preserves pictures, sculptures, furnitures, jewels, dresses of court, napoleonic relics, collected by the count Giuseppe Primoli (1851-1927), descendant from Bonaparte family, and donated by himself to the Common of Rome in 1927. The collection began as not well as from desire to offer a testimony of the imperial grandeur of the Bonaparte family, but from the will to tell the history according to a private, nearly daily optical and to document the intense relationships that tied the Bonapartes with Rome. The collections of the museum introduce three distinguished moments: the napoleonic period, the "roman" period, that follows the vicissitudes of the family from the fall of Napoleone until the rise of Napoleone III, and the period of the second Empire.

Horatio Nelson
The Norfolk Nelson Museum boasts around 900 items dedicated to the naval hero from letters, books and ceramics to paintings, medals and a piece of wood from the Victory.
Alongside traditional exhibits, the museum shows what Horatio Nelson's life was like below the decks through sight, sound and smell.
A replica of a boat houses an interative display where children can climb into hammocks, hear Nelson's commands and the commotion on board a battleship, see the crew's meagre daily rations and smell cannon-fire.
A room recreating Nelson's home at Merton Place in Surrey is dedicated to his life outside of battle. A wax model of Nelson sits at a desk, and glass cases feature displays of how he looked and his colourful love life.

Romanov's family
The Alexander Palace is one of the best examples of world architecture executed in the classical style. It was built by the order of Catherine the Great for her favorite grandson, the future tsar Alexander I. It was a present to him on his marriage. Later, however, the palace was the favorite residence of the last Russian tsar Nicholas II, who settled here in 1905 and lived through August 1917, when he and his family were taken away first to Tobolsk, and then to Ekaterinburg where they were shot by the Bolsheviks on July 17, 1918.
In August 1997 an exhibit «Recollections of Alexander Palace» was open in the left wing of the palace, which formerly housed living quarters of Nicholas II.
Passing through the rooms of Emperor Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra Fyodorovna, in this palace you will come up close to the artistic tastes of the last Romanovs, and view the Emperor's State Study, decorated in fin-de-siecle style.
This website offers an online tour and tells the history of the fairy-tale home of the last Romanov Tsar and his family.
