About exhibition

In the Center for Science, Traditions and Art exhibitions from the museum-reserve's collections are on display. The exhibition "Facets of Shared Experience: Labor, Creativity, the Individual" presents Ryazan of the socialist era through works by artists. It introduces visitors to paintings, sculptures and original graphic works by Russian artists of the second half of the 20th century that depict the city's development in the 1950s–1980s. The exhibition features works by A. V. Syrov, M. K. Shelkovenko, A. M. Titova, O. A. Busygina and many others. The exhibition "Archaeology of Pereyaslavl Ryazansky: Twenty Years of Kremlin Research" showcases unique finds discovered during 20 years of excavations at the Zhitny and Vvedensky trenches in the Ryazan Kremlin. Pereyaslavl Ryazansky (the modern city of Ryazan) is one of the oldest Russian towns, the capital of the Ryazan principality in the 14th–15th centuries, and was a fortress-city on the borderlands of the Russian state in the 16th–17th centuries. The city's nearly thousand-year history was for a long time concealed beneath many meters of cultural deposits. The 21st century has become an important milestone in the study of medieval Pereyaslavl Ryazansky. Large-scale, comprehensive archaeological investigations carried out at a high academic level have revealed a vast body of information on housing construction and the urban layout of the medieval city, and have produced a colossal amount of sometimes unique material sources from the 12th–17th centuries that shed light on the daily life, culture and occupations of ordinary townspeople. The last Wednesday of each month is a maintenance (sanitary) day.
