Exhibition at the Rukavishnikovs' estate. Nizhny Novgorod. Museum-estate of the Rukavishnikovs. Activities and parties for children

I confess that I go to exhibitions very rarely, and if I really don't lie at all, then never. But the topic of the revolution and the historical events of Nizhny Novgorod is very interesting to me. Therefore, having learned about the opening of the exposition in the Rukavishnikovs' estate, I gladly went there. And I will tell you today about the advantages of this exhibition, and about its disadvantages. But mostly, of course, I'll show you photographs. Most of all, as a journalist and writer, I liked old documents and propaganda leaflets, articles in Old Russian and a huge switchboard.

Front page of a newspaper dated June 25, 1917. History in every letter. Perhaps someday my articles that appeared on the front pages of Nizhny Novgorod publications will also be part of the museum's exposition in the 22nd century.

Comrade Kirillov's account book, preserved after 100 years.

It is interesting to observe how people, their outfits, habits and mores have changed. It is very unusual to realize that all this happened right here, on these very streets on which I go to work every day. A hundred years have passed, but it seems that not one century. The photo below shows the everyday objects of revolutionaries.

The drummer in the picture with the call to subscribe to the "Freedom Loan" reminds me very much of Gorky. Perhaps this is the case?

And this is an old inkwell. I just want one for my desktop!

The exposition dedicated to the 1917 revolution is very small, and this is its main disadvantage. All items are on display in a room, slightly larger than the kitchen in Khrushchev. But it's still great that the organizers were able to find and preserve at least a small, but very important part of our past.

The Rukavishnikovs' estate is a branch of the Nizhny Novgorod State Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve (NGIAMZ), which also includes the Kremlin complex, created on the basis of a private collection, the Technical Museum, the Regional Museum of Arts and Crafts, the Pokrovka 8 exhibition hall and the Museum of the Russian Patriarchate located in Arzamas ...

The majestic mansion in the Italian palace style was designed on the basis of a previously existing two-story estate on the Verkhne-Volzhskaya embankment and was decorated in the period from 1840 to 1877, when the building passed to the usurer Rukavishnikov. The house was restored, the wings and the third floor were added, the facade is richly decorated with sculptures and stucco moldings.

Currently, the building is a regional cultural heritage site, one of the most exquisite and recognizable historical structures in Nizhny Novgorod.

There is a place in Nizhny Novgorod that is visited by thousands of tourists every year. And the townspeople themselves like to go there on excursions from time to time to touch the beauty. We are talking about the pearl - the state historical and architectural museum-reserve "Rukavishnikovs Estate" in Nizhny Novgorod, which is the largest and oldest in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

The history of the house-museum "Rukavishnikovs Estate" in Nizhny Novgorod dates back to 1896. It was then that the doors of the mansion opened to visitors. Over its centuries-old history, the museum has accumulated a unique collection that includes more than three hundred thousand exhibits of cultural value. These are works of graphics, painting, arts and crafts, as well as fabrics, furniture, metal products. To date, eight branches of this museum have been opened in Nizhny Novgorod.

The main exhibit of the museum is the Rukavishnikovs' mansion itself, which is an object of cultural heritage not only in Nizhny Novgorod. This majestic building is considered a vivid example of a merchant's estate architectural complex of the late 19th century. Built in 1877, the mansion that belonged to the millionaire Sergei Rukavishnikov became the most luxurious in the city. In 1924, the Soviet government decided to provide the premises of the estate at the disposal of the local museum of local lore. Today, the objects of demonstration of the Nizhny Novgorod State Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve are the interiors of the estate, the building itself, exhibitions and rich collections of cultural monuments. They even exhibit the "Special Pantry" - an exhibition where you can see items made of precious metals.

The first house, owned by the owner of the Nizhny Novgorod steel plant, G. Rukavishnikov, appeared on the Verkhne-Volzhskaya embankment in the 1840s. He did not stand out in anything special, but when the estate passed to the heir, S. Rukavishny, the situation changed. He decided to turn a two-story house, modest by the standards of a millionaire, into a luxurious estate in the style of an Italian palazzo. Architects and artists helped the merchant to realize his idea. A third floor, façade wings, a grand marble staircase were added to the building. The mansion was richly decorated with stucco, parquet, Atlanteans, high reliefs. Eight people (members of the Rukavishnikov family) lived in fifty rooms!

The unprecedented luxury of the manor-palace of the merchant Rukavishnikov was talked about not only in Nizhny Novgorod, but also far beyond its borders. The majestic structure has been mentioned more than once in the works of art by famous writers. And today the glory of this complex attracts thousands of tourists.

If you are planning to visit the Rukavishnikovs Estate Museum, it is located at the following address: Nizhny Novgorod Region, Nizhny Novgorod, Verkhne-Volzhskaya embankment, 7. The doors of the complex are open from Tuesday to Thursday from 10 to 17 hours, on Saturday and Sunday from 12 up to 19 hours. The entrance ticket costs 80 rubles for Russians and 200 rubles for foreigners.
