Earlier I published events for the May holidays that will take place in the streets and squares of Volgograd. In this article I publish the events prepared by Volgograd museums.
Local History Museum.
Thematic guided tour "The Greatness of Ancestors – Pride of Descendants".
The exhibition "The Greatness of Ancestors – Pride of Descendants" is aimed at preserving and passing on knowledge about the Great Patriotic War by displaying museum items on the region's history from 1941–1945, materials from local residents who were front-line soldiers and contemporaries of the war. The exhibition features photographs, documents, letters, personal belongings and awards. The exhibition presents the main events of the Great Patriotic War, paying attention to various aspects of front-line and home-front life; the exhibits can underscore the drama and greatness in the fates of our fellow countrymen and their contribution to the common Victory.
Date: May 7 at 16:00
May 8 at 18:00
May 9 at 11:00, 16:00
Cost: 350 RUB.

Thematic guided tour "Stalingrad Lives and Will Live".
The event is dedicated to the memory of Stalingrad residents who became participants in the great battle on the Volga. The aim of the event is an attempt to show the war and the Battle of Stalingrad through the eyes of the participants, through the eyes of Stalingrad's civilians and the fighters who defended the city. The everyday life of townspeople in the combat zone, in the rear, and on occupied territory is very difficult for a modern person to imagine. It is even harder to imagine front-line life through the eyes of an ordinary soldier. Participants will learn how Stalingrad residents lived in the pre-war period, how they bravely endured the hardships of war, and how they rebuilt their native city by joint efforts. Stalingrad lives and will live.

Mashkov Art Museum.
Curator-led tours of the exhibition "Dedicated to the Defenders of the Fatherland".
On the curator-led tour, the museum's senior researcher Elena Ogarkova will talk about the role of military artists in shaping the nation's historical memory, about the contribution of the Grekov School artists, as eyewitness painters of the Battle of Stalingrad, in documenting its events and heroes. We will present little-known pages about the creation and restoration of the panorama "The Battle of Stalingrad."
The exhibition features portraits of the great Soviet scientists and designers who created a reliable shield for the Motherland: M.I. Koshkin, Y.B. Khariton, A.N. Tupolev, P.O. Sukhoi. We will learn more about them. The exhibition curator will talk about the work of contemporary military artists and present a wide creative range of their abilities, from large battle paintings and formal portraits to intimate, lyrical landscapes.
Date: May 9 at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00

Planetarium.
Full-dome program "The Immortal Feat of Stalingrad"
"The Immortal Feat of Stalingrad" is the first military immersive program with a 360-degree overview, which can be seen only on the dome of the Volgograd Planetarium. Thanks to the latest technologies combined with wartime film chronicle, the viewer will, on the one hand, be able to understand the details of the events, and on the other hand, fully feel the scale and drama of the great war.

The program, timed to the 80th anniversary of the defeat of the German-fascist troops by Soviet forces in the Battle of Stalingrad, will transport you into the midst of past events.
The thematic structure of the program reflects the main stages of the Battle of Stalingrad: battles on the distant and close approaches, street fighting, Soviet counteroffensives, Operation "Ring", as well as the victorious conclusion and the restoration of the city from the ruins. It contains a large amount of illustrative material – photographs, newsreel fragments, infographics, as well as animated maps of key combat operations of the Battle of Stalingrad, which will greatly help viewers to better perceive the complex material.

This project is the result of joint cooperation between the State Budgetary Cultural Institution of the Volgograd Region "Volgograd Planetarium" and the Federal State Budgetary Cultural Institution "State Historical and Memorial Museum-Reserve 'Battle of Stalingrad'".

Dates: May 6 at 10:00; May 9 at 10:00; May 9 at 14:00; May 10 at 12:00; May 11 at 14:00
Cost: 450 RUB.

Exhibition "Monuments of the Borodino Field in the Work of 20th-Century Graphic Artists" The graphics collection is one of the largest holdings in the funds of the Borodino Field State Museum-Reserve. A significant place in it is occupied by works by artists of the past 20th century, including pieces depicting the Borodino Field and its monuments. First and foremost are the monuments erected for the centenary of the battle in 1912 at the command posts of M.I. Kutuzov and Napoleon and at the sites of the regiments of the Russian army. The Spaso-Borodinsky Monastery, built on the site of Bagration's flèches — one of the main fortifications of the Russian army — and the Church of the Nativity in the village of Borodino — a witness to the battle — as well as, of course, the boundless expanses of the Borodino Field, also attracted considerable attention from graphic artists. The works presented at the exhibition date from the 1970s to the 1990s — a period when large-scale restoration and reconstruction of objects lost during the Soviet era was underway on the Borodino Field. They allow viewers not only to see the Borodino Field during this important epoch in its history, but also to get an idea of various graphic techniques — from monochrome pencil or sanguine drawings, pastels and watercolors, to different kinds of printmaking such as etching, monotype, and lithography. Most fully represented in the exhibition is the work of M.S. Kachalov — a contemporary graphic artist closely connected by biography to the Borodino Field. First and foremost is an extensive cycle of etchings created in 1987 for the 175th anniversary of the battle. The Spaso-Borodinsky Monastery occupies a central place in it, having been recently revived by restorers. Later some of these etchings were hand-colored by the artist, and the exhibition allows comparison between the monochrome version of some etchings and the colored ones. They are complemented by the monochrome pencil and sanguine drawings that served as the basis for the printed images. Many of Kachalov's works are characterized by a special depth and tonal richness, skillfully exploiting the characteristics of the etching technique. In other etchings, by contrast, an unusual-for-reproductive graphics feigned carelessness of drawing is achieved, especially enhanced by graceful watercolor coloring. A.T. Kuznetsov also produced in 1987 a series of pencil drawings of Borodino Field landscapes, which later became the basis for etchings. His works are notable for their particular meticulousness in rendering details, including the architectural features of the field's monuments. The Borodino Field appears from unusual angles in the restrained drawings and vivid color monotypes of L.V. Khinshtein, whose main specialty is animal painting and who was a pupil of the celebrated V.A. Vatagin. N.S. Bogorodskaya, in turn, trained as a film artist. The brightness and celebratory quality of color characteristic of her work are felt in the views of the Borodino Field on display, executed with seemingly childlike media such as colored pencils, supplemented with pastel. By contrast, G.I. Ivanova's autolithographs are extremely restrained in color, conveying the immensity of the Borodino Field with particular subtlety and lyricism — an interest that unites the authors of all the works presented at the exhibition.

A 'frontline' Christmas tree has been decorated at the Kirov Museum of Military Glory\r\n\r\nVisitors will be told how soldiers of the Russian army celebrated Christmas and New Year\r\r\nOn the eve of the New Year, a 'frontline' Christmas tree was installed at the Kirov Museum of Military Glory.\r\n\r\n"Even in the harsh years of war, soldiers found a way to mark this holiday, which reminded them of home, of family, of peaceful times. In a dugout, pillbox, or soldier's tent, rank-and-file soldiers and commanders tried to put up a little tree, modestly decorate it, and prepare a simple 'festive' meal: often just tea, bread, sugar," said Vladimir Ogorodnikov, head of the Museum of Military Glory.\r\n\r\nVisitors to the museum will be told about how Christmas and New Year were celebrated beginning from the time of the First World War. The memoirs of soldiers and officers of the Russian army contain accounts that even under frontline conditions the warriors did not forget this Holy Holiday.\r\n\r\nDuring the Great Patriotic War, the tree was sometimes decorated with ornaments made from various improvised materials: pieces of bandages, tufts of cotton, candy wrappers. At the Museum of Military Glory one can see an improvised table assembled from ammunition crates and containers from medical equipment. Nearby are a samovar, a kerosene lamp, and a brazier stove.\r\n\r\nDuring the New Year holidays visitors will also be able to decorate the frontline tree with homemade ornaments. Workshops will be held at the Museum of Military Glory.
