Monk’s cell

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.

Sonnet Theatre will present performance “It’s War, Girls” on May 18

Visitors of the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve will be able to see the military drama based on the play of Taras Drozd “It’s War, Girls” in the conference hall on May 18. Actors of the Youth Fringe Theatre-Studio “Sonnet” from Vologda will perform there.

The story about four girls who were radio operators will remind you of the fact how the war changes people’s lives. These changes are reflected in characters, thoughts and deeds. The young radio operators are united with the desire for the prompt victory over the enemy, but they cannot fully trust even each other at the same time.

One more interesting event - the display of one exhibit - will take place in the conference hall before the performance. Visitors will be able to see the lace panel “Victory”. We invite everybody to come to the museum at 20:00.
