Work of travelling museums is actively carried out all over the country. The Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve has been working in this direction for several years within the framework of the program titled “Travelling Museum”. During the year, our employees visit schools, kindergartens and Cultural Centres of the district to tell children and adults about history, culture, traditions and modern life of the native district, folk and religious art. They give lectures and hold various events. Besides, local residents get acquainted with mobile exhibitions which are of great interest. In particular, people are interested in outstanding fellow-townsman and cultural life of Kirillov. For instance, over 300 persons attended 26 lectures given by our employees within the last month – November. Simple topics are discussed with children, for example, how people get wool. Names of villages, Old Russian embroidery, history of Kiriilov and the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery are the subjects of meetings with senior pupils. The Polish-Lithuanian intervention of the Belozersk district is in the list of the most important subject matters of the lectures for senior schoolchildren. This question was also raised at the seminar of teachers of the Kirillov district which was held in the museum. Our employees will continue educational work in future and will organize several more trips till the end of the year.
