History
The folk museum of sculptor Vera Mukhina, or the Museum complex "The Child's seascape painter Gallery, Museum of sculptor V. Mukhina" was established in a house of Mukhin's family. A wall of the Mukhin's old house was successfully included in the main facade of the museum building. A local administration made a decision to not completely destroy Mukhin's former house when a new block of houses was constructed at the end of 20th century. So, the original wall now decorates a modern museum. A memorial room of V. Mukhina and a part of her creative workshop were recreated with period furniture and instruments.[2]
Exposition
The main part of the museum displays exhibits from the first half of the 20th century.
Sculptures
The pride of the museum is a layout of the sculptural composition Worker and Kolkhoz Woman which was presented at the Paris Exhibition of 1937.[3]
