Exhibition "Divnaya Gora"

About exhibition

The "Divnaya Gora" exhibition will introduce you to the town's history, from the Paleolithic era to the present day. The display features finds from the Paleolithic campsite of ancient humans at Listvenki-Zarechnaya, which became known in 1983 through K.V. Zyryanov, director of the then-forming Museum of Labor Glory. Here you can see various stone cores, knife-shaped blades, and remains of ancient animals such as the lower jaw of a baby mammoth, fragments of reindeer antler, and a prehistoric bison. The exhibition is complemented by items from the museum's ethnographic collection: a washboard, a cast-iron flat iron, a spinning wheel, a sieve, as well as birch-bark products — tuyes, berestyanniks, pesters — and a samovar. The central part of the exhibition is devoted to the history of the construction of the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station and to a display dedicated to the figure of Andrei Yefimovich Bochkin. On the panels you can see the personal belongings of this prominent hydro-construction engineer, such as a calculating machine, a telephone set, a desk clock, and many other items related both to Andrei Yefimovich Bochkin and to the construction of the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station in general.
