“Treasures of Yaroslavl” go to Karelia: a large-scale exhibition is being prepared in the Kizhi Museum

In the exhibition space of the Kizhi Museum, an exposition dedicated to the cultural heritage of Yaroslavl is being prepared for opening. Visitors will be able to see rare church vestments, ancient icons in precious salaries and items of temple decoration dating from the XVII to the beginning of the XX century. All these artifacts are provided by the Yaroslavl Museum-Reserve.

Delivery of valuable cargo was supervised by Alexey Zubatenko, the custodian of the precious metals fund and curator of the exhibition “Treasures of Yaroslavl”. According to the museum staff, transportation was carried out in strict accordance with the rules of transportation of museum valuables, since every object originating from historical monasteries and churches of Yaroslavl needs careful storage.

The exhibition will be available from October 16 to December 8. The grand opening will take place at 16:00.
