Komi-Permyak Museum of Ethnography and Everyday Life
About museum
The museum, opened in 1993, offers visitors the chance to view numerous exhibits collected in the surrounding villages and hamlets. They are items of antiquity: birch-bark products, patterned sashes, Komi-Permyak clothing, towels with national motifs, and handmade textiles. You can also see an antique copper samovar with a clay washbasin, as well as tools used for manual threshing of sheaves: a winding reel (motovilo), a flax beater, a scutching tool, a heckle, a comb, and a spinning wheel. All these household items transport us to the 19th century and help recreate the atmosphere of peasant life in the Russian hinterland.
