08:07, 4 мая 2012

“A lot of interesting museums of Moscow, visiting which might disclose Russian capital from another side and might as well change the opinion about the city and citizens, “fall out” from the visual field of tourists, including foreigners”, - considers the Deputy Director of The State Central Museum of Contemporary History of Russia Nadezhda Tsareva. With these words she opened her presentation on excursion possibilities of her museum for representatives of tour business, who receive Russian and foreign tourists in Moscow. With this meeting, which was organized with the support of Moscow City Committee for Tourism and Hotel Industry and Russian Union of Travel Industry, continues the cycle of get-to-know seminars, the main task of which is to establish partnership relations between museums and travel agencies.

 

The Museum of Contemporary History of Russia, the former Museum of Revolution – is one of the largest repositories of the contemporary history in the world. In March 2012 it celebrated its 95th anniversary. While speaking with the correspondent of RATA-news, Mrs. Tsareva complained that during the last several years the flow of foreign visitors has reduced, however visiting this museum might be especially interesting for them. Only here one can see the largest collection of gifts to Stalin (about 90 thousand items), the emblem of USSR, the coat of Yuri Gagarin that was dismantled from the building of the Supreme Soviet after the Soviet Union’s disintegration, the guitar of Vladimir Vysotsky and many other items connected with the Soviet past of our country.

 

The seminar took place in the preserved interiors of the library of the English Club. This was the function of the museum’s building until the revolution of 1917. The audience, almost 30 representatives of travel agencies were shown the main plots of the Museum’s excursion programs both in the halls of Tverskaya street and in two of five branches – at Presnya and Delegatskaya streets. The attendees were interested in interactive features of the exposition. Nadezhda Tsareva said that for now there are programs devoted to familiarization with the recent past of Russia both for children and grown-ups. During such excursion one can, for example, visit the office of a statesman or see the life of a Muscovite of the last century. An exposition History Under The Glaze opened in the Museum of Contemporary History of Russia in April – another way to tell about the revolutionary romance through china.

 

At the meeting it came to MICE-possibilities of the museum’s ground. Mrs. Tsareva clarified that there are three halls holding business and ceremonial events, the largest of which can accommodate about 100-130 people. “The practice showed that people would more likely hold their meetings in historic interiors”, - noted the Deputy Director of the Museum of the Contemporary History of Russia. The only disadvantage that was named by the museum staff was that temporary there is no food spot, but there’s hope that a cafe which is now closed will open in the nearest future.

 

A real gift for the tour operators was visiting the Chocolate & Cacao exhibition. Its curator Evgeny Trostentsov not only explained about the production technologies of this delicacy, but also treated everyone with freshly prepared chocolate. Here on the special machine and with the help of experienced chocolate makers, those who wished could make a chocolate bar with their own hands. This possibility is offered to every visitor of the exhibition. The sweet exposition is opened in the museum untill the end of the year, in future it’s planned to make it permanent.

 

Summarizing the meeting, the representatives of the travel business noted that the Museum of Contemporary History of Russia successfully combines everything that is mostly in-demand among the guests of the capital: the memory of the Soviet heritage and the existence of the so-called manufacture. The Manager of the Mir Company, Anastasia Polyakova stressed out that foreign guests with special pleasure immerse in the times of USSR, and for the Russians it will be interesting to reveal the secrets of manufacturing something, especially taking into consideration that there are very few opened manufactures in Moscow.
