Add review about Museum-Estate Kray Dolgorukovsky
One of the most unusual and in appearance, and in the submission of information, the provincial museum is located in the village of Dolgorukovo, Lipetsk region. There are collected exhibits relevant to the history of the town, and to history in the global sense, and also - incredible, almost fantastic sculptures-installations.
The museum-estate looks quite oddly outside: turrets and stucco, the courtyard filled with art objects-all this creates the feeling that you were not in the branch of the provincial museum of local lore, but in the gallery of avant-garde art, slightly removed from the urban civilization.

Even at the entrance to the territory of an unusual museum, the guest has something to be surprised: at the peculiar "belltower" is none other than Kozma Prutkov, who is looking somewhere to the side. It turns out that he is sitting there for a reason, and his gaze is directed to his native village Pavlovka, which has already disappeared from the face of the earth.

A literary mask, a character known for his immortal aphorisms, Kozma Prutkov was created by Alexei Tolstoy and the Zhemchuzhnikov brothers in Pavlovka, exactly there, in the family estate of Zhemchuzhnikov, in Pavlovka.

The famous "fellow-countryman" in the museum-estate in general assigned a special place: his numerous aphorisms literally "pour" on the visitor from all sides .Back in the yard there is a barn that reflects the chronology of important historical battles: the Kulikovo and Poltava battle, the Battle of Borodino, Grunwald .Another barn became a "haven" for Boyarina Morozova, near him were personalities related to the history of the region: the mother of the Zhemchuzhnikov brothers who created Prutkov, the hero of the Great Patriotic War who participated in the liberation of the region, General Ivan Rusiyanov .

Exposition

Inside the museum is also "fun" and unusual, as well as outside - you can see what you do not expect .For example, the iconostasis with icons and stucco is in the same room with a portrait of the leader of the Communist Party and other objects outside the church, Rurikovichi looks at the guests .In total, the museum has 11 rooms, each of which is devoted to a separate topic - archeology, Russian history, village and t .e ., but the uniqueness of the exhibits themselves, and their presentation - in materials, installations, colors .The choice of materials is justified by their cheapness or in general free of charge: many objects are created from real rubbish - bottles, scrap metal and plastic, because for real, valuable exhibits the museum did not allocate funding .
