In Russia, a museum reserve, museum preserve or museum zapovednik (Russian: музей-заповедник) is an official type of open-air museums, which, in addition to the items of exhibition, includes a territory with architectural, historical, and natural monuments, and other places of interest which have a protected status of zapovednik (preserve). Their official status was put in law in 2011.^[1]

A similar concept exists in some other post-Soviet states.

For the first time the term "zapovednik" was used in the name "Государственный заповедник 'Пушкинский уголок'", established in 1922, now Mikhaylovskoye Museum Reserve. The term "museum zapovednik" as an official status was introduced in the Soviet Union in 1958-1959.^[2]
