About museum
The idea of creating a museum arose from a passion for collecting antiques, tools, production instruments, utensils, and needlework. Having built up the premises, a museum exposition was formed consisting of four exposition zones: agricultural labor, arrangements in a Russian hut, female labor, and folk crafts.
The collection of rustic and peasant utensils totals more than 800 items from the 17th – 20th centuries.
