Skvortsovo Village Museum of Applied Arts

About museum

\r\nOn October 29, 1979, the first rural museum of fine and applied arts in Crimea was opened in the village of Skvortsovo. The initiative to create the museum came from the director of the state farm, I. I. Beloivanov, who practiced painting and wanted to collect in the village all the works of talented local people. The museum's exhibition features paintings, graphic works and decorative and applied arts: wood carving, metal embossing (repoussé), embroidery, intarsia. The museum houses works by L. Yu. Onishchenko, P. Chapkaylo, A. Solodovnikov, A. Oleynik and others. It also exhibits carpets, tapestries, embroidered ceremonial towels (rushnyky), shirts, Ukrainian rubakhas and corsets, towels from Fergana and other items. Today the museum's collection consists of about 600 works of art. The museum runs a drawing club 'Cipollino' and an alternative fashion studio 'Lyudmila'.
