Exhibition dedicated to the life and work of People's Artist of the Russian Federation Vladlen Biryukov

About exhibition

The exhibition tells about the life and work of Vladlen Yegorovich Biryukov, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, a theatre and film actor and a native of Berdsk. The core of the exhibition consists of original items: personal belongings, theatrical costumes, interior objects, documents, and photographs donated to Berdsk by the actor’s relatives and colleagues. Also presented are video segments with memories from leading actors of Novosibirsk theatres and family members, which can be accessed via QR codes. For young visitors there is an audio guide "Liska-Zakuliska" that helps explore the museum, get acquainted with the exhibits, learn theatrical terms, take part in the "Museum Detective" game, and listen to the voice of the famous local. The exhibition is completed by a mirror which, according to theatrical superstition, one had to look into before going on stage. Here visitors can read some remarks about Biryukov by well-known people he worked with. The legend about the superstitious mirror won an all-Russian competition and can be read in the museum. The exhibition was developed by the Ural Institute of Museum Projects (Yekaterinburg). The museum is a gold medalist of the Cultural Olympics of the Novosibirsk Region in 2024.
