In total, the museum presents more than a hundred costumes, including those sewn from rare fabrics of the early XX century according to all the canons of fashion styles of that long-gone era.

After a heavy breakfast, we will leave at 9.00 and return to Kostroma by 17.15, so if you have an evening “Swallow”, take things from the hotel with you.

Two geniuses choose almost the same place in the Kostroma province. Ostrovsky created a Russian play. Kustodiev founded his unique genre in painting.

Let’s go and see what these magical places are, where great works of Russian literature and painting were born. Here we will walk along the alleys of the age-old park with the hope of meeting with fairy-tale heroes. Endless stairs, bridges, forest paths, streams and well-groomed ponds will involve you in a mysterious quest. We will walk to the blue key of the Snow Maiden, which does not freeze even in winter, where according to legend, the fairy-tale heroine of the playwright Ostrovsky melted.

We will visit places that the playwright himself compared with the best places in Switzerland and Italy. In the estate Ostrovsky lived, coming for the summer. Here he worked on the play "Thunderstorm" and "Unprincipal". Powerful nature, colorful peasants, festive festivities, folk tales, songs and legends influenced the idea of A. N. Ostrovsky to create a fairy tale “Snow Maiden”. You will visit the house where the atmosphere of the last years of the playwright’s life is recreated. Here are authentic items - personal belongings of Alexander Nikolaevich and his family. We will visit the village of Nikolo-Berezhka, look into the peasant’s house and the ancient church, where A. N. Ostrovsky loved to visit, talk to the old samovar and learn a lot about the traditions of Russian tea drinking. The hostess of the hut will treat you with fragrant tea with herbs and talk with you about life.
