At the Susanino Local History Museum, five halls tell the story of the Susanino region in sequence, covering its nature, archaeology, history, culture, and everyday life. The renewed exhibition “Na perekrestke istorii i legendy” preserves Ivan Susanin and Savrasov’s “The Rooks Have Arrived” as motifs of importance to the region. The museum also offers walking and bus excursions to places associated with Ivan Susanin, including the Isupovo bog and the villages of Derevenki and Domnino. Check the specific dates of these excursions before making plans.
In Kostroma, the “Kostromskaya Sloboda” focuses on something different: visitors can see historic wooden houses and churches, as well as ethnographic exhibitions about peasant life in Kostroma Oblast. The Natural History Museum in Kostroma presents contemporary animals, birds, insects, and fungi alongside the paleontological history of the Kostroma region in its permanent exhibition. Together, the two museums offer insight into different aspects of the region: historic architecture and peasant life in one, and present-day nature and geological history in the other.
The Museum of Dreams in Nerekhta tells the town’s history through the life stories of people who dared to dream big. Original memorabilia bring these stories to life. Here, personal memories take center stage, while the Susanino Local History Museum organizes regional topics by subject area.
