“Hurrah! We Have Vacation! Summer 2016”

This program has been successfully implemented within several years. Its goals are to organize leisure of children and teenagers, to foster them to love history and culture of small Motherland and to teach them to appreciate art.

Employees of the Department of Visitor Relations made an individual plan of work with each camp that included various activities, such as lectures, playing events, creative lessons, master-classes, tours of the museum.

The most popular with the kids were such events as the master-classes “Bell doll”, “Patterned belt”, “Semolina painting”, the lessons in pottery “Pot” and “Relief with a monastery view”. New museum programs were also interesting for boys and girls – they saw the films shot in Kirillov and joined in the quest “Treasure in the monastery”.

All these events were prepared and organized by the museum employees together with People’s Artist of Russia Marina Vasilieva.

A number of interesting lessons were also held in the Museum of Town and District History.

Over 1000 pupils of 12 summer camps visited the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve in June.
