“There have been various proposals on how to use these premises. In the end, we decided on the creation of the exposition dedicated to Penza families. And this idea was implemented,” he said.

According to Evgeny Shilov, the exposition is primarily addressed to the students, who will be interested to learn about the history of their native city.

“There will be interactive tours with music, cuisine, games, fortune telling. I think this is an exciting project,” the head of culture and archive of the Penza region said.

As PenzaNews agency reported earlier, exposition “World of Penza society classes: Family and Life of the 19-20th centuries” in Ulyanov Museum has rich material base, portraits, photographs, museum still life interiors, and specially made equipment allows us to feel the flavor of the era.

It is equipped with sound technology — the exposition will be accompanied by Penza songs, tunes of folk musical instruments.

The collection also has interactive exhibits that can be touched.
