Permanent exhibition "19th-Century Merchant's Cellar"

About exhibition

In the memorial section of the I. A. Goncharov Museum, visitors are treated to an amazing journey into the past. Here, in an authentic 19th-century merchant's cellar, you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an old house and see with your own eyes how ancestors stored food. The exhibition displays provisions and common household items from the first half of the 19th century. Guests will see items such as a wooden tub (kadka), an earthenware jug (korchaga), a crock (krynka), a pitcher, a chest (lar'), a trug (lukoshko), a basket, a trough, a wooden box (korob), a butter churn (masloboyka), a sieve, a susék (wooden grain bin), a hoe (tyapka), and a tues (birch-bark container). Many of these have fallen out of use today.
