Exhibition 'History and Archaeology of Klin in the 14th–18th Centuries'

About exhibition

The exhibition is based on archaeological finds discovered in the Klin area that testify to the town's development over nearly five centuries — from a border fortress of the Principality of Tver to a postal relay (yam). Visitors can see the offensive and defensive arms of the Russian warrior, a hoard of coins, a tombstone slab, antique ceramics, and other items of medieval culture. The collection is supplemented by a reproduction of Meyerberg — the very first depiction of Klin — numerous accounts of the town by foreign travelers, and objects illustrating the development of the yamskoy (postal relay) trade.
