The "Black Banya" Museum

About museum

In Russia, the tradition of visiting the banya is an integral part of the culture. Heating a banya "black-style" is one of the most important arts of banya culture. This process involves constructing the banya from oak planks and treating the walls with a birch venik (birch whisk). This preparation allows for greater coolness and comfort in the banya. This labor-intensive process helps create an authentic banya atmosphere and gives the bathhouse a unique aroma. Relaxing in the banya helps restore not only the body but also the spirit. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the full process of preparing a banya "black-style", visit the Banya Culture Museum!
