In the Country of Masters

What were our ancestors’ occupations? What boots and shirts did they wear? What did they decorate their huts with? You can learn this and many other things at museum-pedagogical studies which are held at the Museum of local lore this week.

The senior research worker Gavrilova Slavina Vyachaslavovna welcomes hospitably the pupils of Polotsk schools. Literally from the first minutes of the studies the children start traveling over Polotsk fair. There are so many fascinating things here! There you can find leather boots and purses, iron bits and keys, ceramic pots and jars. At the fair the masters themselves will welcome you. The farrier will tell how iron is tempered and about the work at the farriery. The potter will show you the dishes with his own stamp. And the tailor will let the children see the footwear of old Polotsk fastion-monqers.
