I want to know about famousmuseums of Yaroslavl.
I am interested in History andEnglish. I like to visit museum,because I always learn somethingnew.
Now I want to tell about myfavorite museums.
In the Museum of the History of theCity there are 11 halls where you canlearn about Yaroslavl from themoment of its foundation in the 12thcentury up to nowadays. Yaroslavl inthe history of Russia and a person inthe history of Yaroslavl is the conceptof the Museum’s exposition.
Special attention is paid to thefamous Yaroslavl citizens who madethe city the way it is, and to theunique architecture of Yaroslavl
In the first private museum in Russia“Music and Time”, owned byJ.Mostoslavsky, a unique collection of oldclocks, musical instruments, bells,domestic utensils is presented. Visitorswill be interested in the collection of oldclocks from France and musicalinstruments made in Germany.
I’ve been in this museum with my friendsfrom musical school. It was fantastic! Wesaw different musical instruments. I’veeven played the piano!
The Literature-Memorial Museum-Preserve ofN.A.Nekrasov “Karabikha” is located in theestate of the great Russian poet in the oldsettlement Karabikha 15 km from Yaroslavl.The estate in Karabikha is a beautifularchitectural ensemble of classical style wellpreserved till our days. One of attractions ofthe museum is the park, which has two parts:the upper park with clear geometrical planand the lower park with naturally growingtrees, a pond and path, running in differentdirections.
Every summer Nekrasov Festival of Poetrytakes place in Karabikha.
The collection of the Yaroslavl Art Museum hasmore than 55 thousand works. In 1997 it was named“the best provincial museums of the year”. Thecollection is exhibited in two remarkablearchitectural monuments – the Metropolitan'sChambers and the Governor’s House.
The game of the collection of the Old Russian Art ofthe 18th – 19th centuries in the Metropolitan'sChambers are the famous icons of the Yaroslavlschool – “Saviour”, “Virgin of Tolga”, Deisus Rung.The best Yaroslavl tiles are exhibited here as well. Thepride of the Russian paintings collection of theMuseum is a number of K.A. Korovin’s works.
Yaroslavl portraits of the 1st half of the 19thcentury and the collection of china and glass (17th– 20th cc.) are interesting too. The Park – Museum“Governor’s Garden” is unique. Modern sculptureis displayed there, flower exhibitions areorganized, and music often heard.
The Museum house “The Theatre onEmbankment”, 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 issituated on the territory of the former Monastery of Transfigurationof the Saviour.
The museum, founded in 1895, possesses rich collection (morethan 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 ofthe Saviour Monastery) hosts the internationalfestival of choir and bell music “Preobrazheniye”,Christmas, New Year, Shrovetide, and Estercelebration , concert of religious music.
There one can have a rare opportunity to seethe living symbol of Yaroslavl – the bear Masha.
I think, it’s always veryinteresting to go to themuseums. We learn somethingnew, we meet different people.
