Social program

09.07.2019 г. The “Polar Odyssey” - historical cultural center and marine museum (Russia, Republic of Karelia, Petrozavodsk).

The main exhibits of the Museum are copies of historical wooden sailing ships. These ships represent Karelia and Russia at various marine festivals. During the tourist season, the Museum is visited daily by guests from different cities of Russia and other countries. A distinctive feature of the Museum is that here you can touch, try on and take pictures, and, most importantly, feel the "old salt" on the deck and in the cabins of old wooden ships. No other Museum in Russia offers such opportunities!

The State “Kizhi” Museum is located on the Island of Kizhi in Lake Onega, in 68 km. distance from Petrozavodsk, the capital of the Republic of Karelia. The Museum has been researching, preserving and popularizing culture of the native peoples of Karelia for more than 40 years.

The collection of the Open-Air “Kizhi” Museum includes 83 monuments of wooden architecture: old chapels and houses, windmills and granaries, threshing barns and racks for drying crops…The gem of this collection is the 22 domed Church of the Transfiguration of Our Savior, 37 meters height. The Church of the Intercession of Holy Mary and the Bell-Tower located nearby emphasize the harmony and magnificence of the main Church.
