Kenozersky National Park

About museum

In 1991 Kenozersky National Park was established, covering an area of 139,663 hectares. It is located in the southwestern part of Arkhangelsk Oblast within the territories of Plesetsky and Kargopolsky districts and borders the Republic of Karelia. This is a specially protected area where visitors can appreciate a genuinely traditional Russian way of life, as well as numerous monuments of material and spiritual culture, architecture, monumental painting, icon painting, archaeology, and a rich ethnographic heritage. In 2014 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List. Kenozero features unique natural complexes and sites, as well as an outstanding example of a Northern European cultural landscape, which makes this park unique.
