The Hall of Antiquities thoroughly showcases the life of the residents of the Bolotninsky District at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Visitors, familiarizing themselves with the exhibition "Peasant Hut," immerse themselves in the everyday life of their ancestors. By examining the Russian stove and kitchen utensils, they admire the skill and strength of the women who used these items.
A special interest is sparked by the corner where the work of our ancestors with flax is presented step by step. Here, museum staff conduct tours titled "How the Shirt Grew in the Field" and "The History of Russian Costume." The next exhibition introduces guests to the development of pottery in the district and various tools used in building houses and boats, as well as in the making of felt boots. In this same hall, there is an exhibition titled "The History of Orthodoxy in the Bolotninsky District," where one can see icons, books, and a bell from the Turnaevskaya Church, which was preserved and donated to the museum by Anna Malaynova.
Visitors also linger at the exhibition "The Trading Shop of the Volchenko Brothers." The third hall is dedicated to the development of the Bolotninsky District during the Soviet period and up to the present day. Significant attention is given to the Great Patriotic War, the development of agriculture, and other important milestones in the district's history. This hall hosts conferences and meetings of war and labor veterans with the youth, various quizzes and local lore readings, presentations of new exhibitions, and other events. Currently, the museum's collections contain over five thousand items in the main and auxiliary funds.
