History of the region based on the materials of archeological excavations” is being opened on the lowest floor of the Church of the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple with the refectory. It is the first full exhibition representing archaeology of the Belozersk district in the Vologda Region. Materials of the monastery archeology are displayed for the first time in our region. More than 4000 archeological objects dating back to different chronological periods are represented there: from the Mesolithic period (9000 B.C.) till the late Middle Ages.
At the end of the 20th – early 21st century considerable restoration work has been carried out in the Kirillo-Belozersky museum-reserve. Museumfication of the monuments is being realized at the same time. One of the most interesting architectural buildings of the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery is the Monks’ cells. In the process of its restoration architects and restorers managed to discover complicated structure of this dwelling house of the 17th-19th centuries.
Exhibitions dedicated to the folk applied art and handicrafts of the Belozersk district are placed in the spacious vaulted chambers of the monastery cook-house of the 16th century. An important place is occupied by wood-carving, ceramics, peasant embroidery, weaving, lace-making and a folk female costume of the 19th-early 20th centuries.

An exhibition marking the 70th anniversary of the Soviet people’s victory in the Great Patriotic War is being prepared in the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve now. It depends on you, residents of Kirillov and the Kirillov district, what it will be. The museum invites you to take an active part in its staging.

There were no combat actions in the Kirillov district, but every family has its own heroes. Those who have walked through half of Europe to come off with flying colours. Those who have gone to the front for good. Those who lie in the communal graves. Those about whom we don’t have any information since the 1940s. Those who worked in the rear round the clock without sparing themselves.

Photographs and personal things of your relatives, wartime letters, various documents of the Great Patriotic War – everything can be presented at the exhibition. Not only inhabitants of Kirillov, but also numerous guests of the town will be able to see them. The museum guarantees complete safety of your family relics handed over temporarily for the display.

Veterans who participated in the military actions, home front workers and children of war – those who have gone through the terrible years – leave us. But the precept “To Remember. To Be Proud” is handed down from generation to generation. Let’s continue following it and tell about our relatives and friends who have paid for the victory with their lives.

For further information, please, call: +7 921-061-16-37.
