We invite you to discover two peoples’ traditional culture and daily life – Russians and Tatars living side by side in the Kazan Volga region.
You will learn what Russian and Tatar fashion was like in those times, what hairstyle rural men wore and what ornaments adorned Tatar beauties’ heads. We will look into homes from the past century, uncover the mysteries of simple peasant household objects – the splinter holder, the rubel and the pan grip – and learn why our ancestors needed these things and how they served them.
Every participant will be able to see and even touch genuine exhibits from past centuries: pestryad fabric, a carefully embroidered kalfak and genuine peasant bast shoes. Materials: pestryad fabric, kalfak, tyubeteika, leather footwear, felt hat, bast shoes, kokoshnik, a man’s horse-shaped comb, a kartuz cap, an Easter cheese mould (pasochnitsa), a shoulder yoke and a spinning wheel.
300 roubles. (Payment by Pushkin Card or bank card is available.)
