I want to know about famous
museums of Yaroslavl.
I am interested in History and
English. I like to visit museum,
because I always learn something
new.
Now I want to tell about my
favorite museums.
In the Museum of the History of the
City there are 11 halls where you can
learn about Yaroslavl from the
moment of its foundation in the 12th
century up to nowadays. Yaroslavl in
the history of Russia and a person in
the history of Yaroslavl is the concept
of the Museum’s exposition.
Special attention is paid to the
famous Yaroslavl citizens who made
the city the way it is, and to the
unique architecture of Yaroslavl
In the first private museum in Russia
“Music and Time”, owned by
J.Mostoslavsky, a unique collection of old
clocks, musical instruments, bells,
domestic utensils is presented. Visitors
will be interested in the collection of old
clocks from France and musical
instruments made in Germany.
I’ve been in this museum with my friends
from musical school. It was fantastic! We
saw different musical instruments. I’ve
even played the piano!
The Literature-Memorial Museum-Preserve of
N.A.Nekrasov “Karabikha” is located in the
estate of the great Russian poet in the old
settlement Karabikha 15 km from Yaroslavl.
The estate in Karabikha is a beautiful
architectural ensemble of classical style well
preserved till our days. One of attractions of
the museum is the park, which has two parts:
the upper park with clear geometrical plan
and the lower park with naturally growing
trees, a pond and path, running in different
directions.
Every summer Nekrasov Festival of Poetry
takes place in Karabikha.
The collection of the Yaroslavl Art Museum has
more than 55 thousand works. In 1997 it was named
“the best provincial museums of the year”. The
collection is exhibited in two remarkable
architectural monuments – the Metropolitan's
Chambers and the Governor’s House.
The game of the collection of the Old Russian Art of
the 18th – 19th centuries in the Metropolitan's
Chambers are the famous icons of the Yaroslavl
school – “Saviour”, “Virgin of Tolga”, Deisus Rung.
The best Yaroslavl tiles are exhibited here as well. The
pride of the Russian paintings collection of the
Museum is a number of K.A. Korovin’s works.
Yaroslavl portraits of the 1st half of the 19th
century and the collection of china and glass (17th
– 20th cc.) are interesting too. The Park – Museum
“Governor’s Garden” is unique. Modern sculpture
is displayed there, flower exhibitions are
organized, and music often heard.
The Museum house “The Theatre on
Embankment”, which stages
performances of Russian classical
authors. The gallery of modern art
“The Alley” organizes exhibition –
sales of art works.
The Yaroslavl Historical – Architectural Museum – Preserve is
situated on the territory of the former Monastery of Transfiguration
of the Saviour.
The museum, founded in 1895, possesses rich collection (more
than 250,000 exhibits) of great historical and artistic value.
The expositions of “The Lay of Igor’s Host”,
opened in 1980, is of great interest. It is
dedicated to the famous poem and has the
richest collection of manuscripts and old
printed books of the 18th – 19th centuries.
I and my class have been in this museum.
We’ve visited the Museum of Nature, the
Historical Museum. The Excursions were exciting.
I’d like to see the exhibits once more.
The Spassky Monastery (the Transfiguration of
the Saviour Monastery) hosts the international
festival of choir and bell music “Preobrazheniye”,
Christmas, New Year, Shrovetide, and Ester
celebration , concert of religious music.
There one can have a rare opportunity to see
the living symbol of Yaroslavl – the bear Masha.
I think, it’s always very
interesting to go to the
museums. We learn something
new, we meet different people.
When you’ve read my
presentation, you had a good
chance to do a virtual excursions
in the museums of Yaroslavl.
