How boring it was to study some 10 years ago! Textbooks, bored pictures, exhibits of the same type. Museums are also not distinguished by their uniqueness. Behind the glass, ancient artifacts stood and lay, the main facts were stated in a dry scientific language on a small stand. "Do not touch with your hands", "Do not go beyond the fence." The silence of city museums and exhibitions, of course, was interesting, but not more than once.
With the advent of the Internet, a lot has changed. We saw different points of view and got acquainted with more interesting pictures from different countries. However, it was still boring to study.
Everything has changed today. The age of computer technology, bold decisions, creative approach and, most importantly, true professionals in their field, who gave us the opportunity to look at history, at the museum, at the exhibition in a different way. I wanted to return to the museum, and one of such exclusive and bold ones is the Museum of the History of St. Petersburg.
Museum of Old Petersburg
St. Petersburg -a young city, but its history, which fits into 300 years of incredible events, does not fit into the framework of one museum or project. It was very difficult to create such a museum where one could examine in detail all spheres of the life of the city, go through the historical events of these years and at the same time make it not boring, informative and accessible. The Museum of the History of St. Petersburg coped with this task, becoming one of the largest museums in Russia and one of the most interesting and beloved in St. Petersburg.
The State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg was opened in 1910. Most of the exhibits were collected from other museums. It was a small and rather informative collection of artifacts from previous years from the life of the city. The idea of the development of the museum was quite versatile, new departments were opened every year, the creators wanted to cover every area of the life of their beloved city.
In addition to the information function, the museum also took on the duties of a designer; scientists and artists worked on the staff to develop projects to improve and ennoble the city.
The Soviet years made their own adjustments to the life of the museum. Much had to be abandoned due to ideological considerations. They cut the story, changed the information, changed the name of the museum and the people who were at the origins of the creation of this historical place.
History of the museum and the city
However, the State Museum of the History of St. Petersburg continued to grow. New branches were opened, after the harsh Stalinist regime, the number of allowed exhibits increased.
In 1993, when the cityits historical name was returned, the museum was returned to its original name, which it has retained to this day.
Today, the Museum of the History of St. Petersburg has more than 10 branches of the most interesting exhibitions, and one of them is "My History".
