In the gloomy time of late autumn, parks of leisure and entertainment noticeably empty. After all, who wants to walk under a gray sky and drizzling rain? However, autumn is a great time to visit some interesting museums. In today's article we will tell you about the most popular museums in Zvenigorod.
Museum of Russian dessert
In 2013, the talented artist Tatyana Feina decided to open an original place in which she gathered a lot of exhibits. The museum itself is located near the city center, in an old brick building. When it was created, it was decided to divide the exhibits into three parts. Accordingly, in three rooms there is a shop with crafts, exhibits of everyday life of the past and the century before last, and a long table for treating guests.
It is worth noting that only getting into the Zvenigorod Museum, you feel the spirit of the Russian village. One gets the feeling that the people who worked in it and collecting all this stuff really love what they are doing.
In one of the rooms is a huge Russian stove. This can be very interesting to the younger generation, who saw it only in pictures. All walls of the same room are hung with Russian utensils and household items. Antique irons, samovars, paintings and carpentry accessories look especially impressive against the background of rough brick walls. In the next room you will see a long table, at which the museum guests and its workers gather.
Tickets and excursions
Entrance to this amazing place is almost free, 50-100 rubles. However, if you want to learn more about the peculiarities of Russian sweets, you can book an excursion. It includes a guide's story about the sweets of the century before last and a detailed story about the life of that time.
You will also be served delicious aromatic tea and treated to local sweets. Perhaps, in Zvenigorod, the Russian dessert museum is considered one of the best places where lovers of Russian culture and families with children should come.
County Museum of Fashion
Another interesting place in the city, which is definitely worth a visit, is the fashion museum. However, its exhibits will be interesting, rather, to the fair sex, passionate about Russian traditions and the life of our ancestors. The undoubted advantage of this museum over others is that all exhibits can be touched. Touch old clothes on mannequins, touch vintage furniture and home decoration.
The creators of the fashion museum in Zvenigorod even managed to recreate the scenery of an old photo shop of past years. Therefore, everyone can take a photograph in an unusual place as a keepsake. It will also be interesting for guests to learn about the life of a Russian woman. About what means were used to maintain order at that time, and with the help of which women decorated themselves and their clothes. In addition, the museum has many outfits made from ancient fabrics, which can also be touched and examined every detail. For all comers guided tours of the museum. On them for a fee, the guide will tell about the life of women of the century before last and how they coped with housekeeping. In the museum itself, you can attend master classes, which are held here quite often. On them craftswomen teach children and women needlework.
In general, this is a wonderful place to spend leisure time with children and attract them to the study of Russian culture.
USSR Museum
And finally, we’ll tell you about another Zvenigorod museum dedicated to the USSR. It will be difficult for many modern children to understand the emotions of adults who have visited this place. Indeed, in an era of abundance of goods, it is impossible to imagine that the chewing gum that was once familiar today caused a flurry of joy, and the acquired music record was just a storm of happiness! However, even those who did not have time to catch that very time have something to look at in this museum.
First of all, it is necessary to say about the unusual atmosphere of this place. Small halls are simply crowded with such cozy and nostalgic things that every Soviet child will remember. Here are the interior items of the last century, and a stand with feminine accessories, and a lot of Soviet equipment. Behind glass doors you will see a subject of pride and a sign of wealth of each family living in the USSR - crystal. Services and glasses, painted saucers and teapots - all this was carefully guarded and used only on holidays.
