This place attracts travelers interested in history, culture and folk art: there are many unique expositions that make walks around the city meaningful and emotional. Gorodets museums offer rich routes for family visits, individual excursions and educational programs.
In the center of museum life are the Gorodetsk Museum of Local Lore, which arose almost immediately after the revolution and stores materials about the life of the district, and the Museum Quarter in the historical part of the city, covering the streets of Kupetskaya, Rublev and Naberezhnaya - a real ensemble of merchant buildings. The Children’s Museum on Merchantska, established in 2004, operates in an old merchant house and offers interactive expositions for young visitors. Museum "Gorodetsky gingerbread" opened its doors in 2008 in the building of the early XX century and introduces the traditions of gingerbread craft and forms of baking. The Gallery of Goodness, opened in 2011 in the house of the merchant Plekhanov, tells about the history of charity and the life of local merchant families. Terem Russian samovar keeps one of the most colorful collections of samovars in the city and is located in a memorial house of the XIX century. The museum “Countess Panina’s House” recreates the atmosphere of manor life, and the museum and tourist complex “City of Masters”, opened in 2010, demonstrates the stages of development of folk crafts and architecture of the Nizhny Novgorod region. In the vicinity, you can also find regional expositions and craft centers that complement the idea of the culture of the region.
The museum poster of Gorodets is dynamic: temporary exhibitions are regularly changed in the halls, master classes in traditional crafts and educational programs for children and adults are held. Local museums cooperate with regional projects, sometimes accept imported collections and organize thematic weeks dedicated to the history of the region, folk art and crafts. Such events make excursions lively and give a chance to see rare objects and author's works of masters, and guides help to better understand the context of each exhibition.
