Museum of Slavic Mythology in Tomsk. History and main news

The Museum of Slavic Mythology in Tomsk appeared several years ago thanks to GM Pavlov, who is currently the founder and chief director of the museum.

The first museum of Slavic mythology

Tomsk is a city with a population of only about 600 thousand people. The museum of mythology, which opened here, was originally the foundation "Russian way" and only a few years later it turned into a real center of art and creativity. This was a huge event for such a small town. Currently, the Museum of Slavic Mythology in Tomsk includes a large art gallery dedicated to the works of Andrei Klimenko, Victor Korolkov, Vsevolod Ivanov and many other contemporary artists. These exhibitions can be visited by anyone on any given day. Very often in the museum there are guided tours for children, during which an experienced guide reveals to the kids an interesting, surprisingly mysterious world of myths and legends, accompanying their story with the presentation of exhibits.

Holidays in the Museum

In the museum of Slavic mythology, events devoted to various holidays are often held: New Year, Christmas, Mother and Child Day, February 23, and many other events related to interesting Slavic customs. For example, the day of the doll, the birthday of the child under the guidance of Baba Yaga and many others. In the museum of Slavic mythology in Tomsk there are creative meetings, scientific and practical conferences, exhibitions and exhibitions and sales.

Location of the museum

In Tomsk, the museum is located on Zagornaya Street. It is a three-story building with pretty roomy rooms, where you can easily arrange a lot of museum exhibits and take a large enough number of visitors. In the museum there is a gallery with easel painting, graphics and other exhibits of arts and crafts based on works of Russian literature.

Three halls of the museum

The Museum of Slavic Mythology in Tomsk is divided into three parts (3 halls).

The first room is a souvenir department. There are unusual exhibitions and sales. Recently an exhibition of Russian jewelers opened in the museum of Slavic mythology, where everyone can see unusual old ornaments made of copper, silver, bronze, and a wide variety of birch bark braids, which you can try to do yourself under the guidance of a master. Admitted to the creative process, even children (three years or older). It is very important that when creating an amulet, a person gives his energy, therefore, made with love, they carry a certain vitality in themselves.

The exhibition is attended by professional jewelers, who can help with the choice of jewelry, as well as give a professional assessment of the product. Many other works of art are presented to the attention of visitors, such as wine and cognac sets, beautiful figured samovars, carved caskets and large caskets. All exhibits of the jewelery exhibition are unique and exclusive. There is not a single similar product in the world.

The second room includes an art gallery and a mythological workshop where excursions and master classes on modeling, drawing and plastics are held. There is training for both adults and children. Very often there are exhibitions of children's works, where young masters learn the basics of painting, working with clay, painting matryoshkas, making puppets (wards) and many other kinds of ancient Slavonic arts. Here is a shop with souvenirs and classic Slavic clothes.

The third room is a conference room. Various scientific conferences devoted to the history of different epochs are held here.

The opportunity for young artists to prove themselves

The Museum of Slavic Mythology in Tomsk is the only museum in the city today. This is a very interesting project, capable of awakening a keen interest in history among the youth. It gives an opportunity to young authors who follow V. Vasnetsov, N. Roerich and many other artists (who support the idea of national romanticism), to become famous and revive in the present something from the life of their ancestors.

The museum provides modern masters working in the areas of mythology, Russian folk tales and epic stories, the opportunity to sell their works at exhibitions attended by a large number of people of different ages. The complex has its own private collection, that's why all the pictures and exhibits liked by its owner are certainly acquired and go to the museum of Slavic mythology (Tomsk).
