Peasants’ houses stood in the Russian North like overland ships. The master carpenters knew what tree to choose, what instrument to work with on a log. They had been building reliably and for centuries. Everyone should have a place in such a house, animals living next to people. But the house is so big, and people are so small compared to it. How can we see a house from the top, inside and outsides? A model of a peasant’s house will help us do this in an inter-active tour “We shall build our house and live in it.”
In the course of the tour its participants will take part in a quiz on wood species, show their skills in using carpenter tools; they will see the layout of a farmer’s house at the example of the model and reinforce their knowledge in the museum exhibitions: residential and house holding premises of one of the house-memorials of wooden architecture of the late 19th – early 20th centuries.
