Museum and Park Complex "Torzhok Gold Embroiderers"

About museum

The "Love and Fidelity" Park in Torzhok is an important place for the town's historical and cultural life and offers a beautiful view of its authentic part. It houses the "House of the Belt" museum, where visitors can learn about Russian belt culture, its role in folk life, traditions and customs, and see a collection of antique belts. The museum features a unique twelve-meter Russian belt, which rightfully appears in the Book of Records of Russia. After visiting the museum, guests can follow the Novotorzhok tradition and visit the museum-exhibition hall "Golden Versta", where, in an hour, one can trace a virtual journey from Moscow to Saint Petersburg. The hall displays works by folk craftsmen: Novotorzhok gold embroidery, Gzhel ceramics, wooden toys from Tver, Christmas tree ornaments from Klin, Valday bells, birchbark products, "Krestetskaya strochka" lace from Novgorod, and porcelain figurines from Saint Petersburg.
