Exhibition 'Dutch House of Peter I'

Фото 1
The exhibition of the House was created by specialists from the museum-reserve in collaboration with the Zaan Museum. The Kolomna copy recreates the House in Zaandam in its original dimensions. It was here that Peter I arrived in August 1697 and spent eight days learning shipbuilding at the local shipyard.

In two small rooms covering 42 square meters, visitors can see restored interior elements, a fireplace lined with Delft ceramic tiles, and the sleeping place of Tsar Peter. Of particular interest is the 17th-century forged window hinge, preserved from the original House of Peter in Zaandam. The exhibition also features portraits of Peter I and his wife Catherine I, graphic works, and an icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands, which accompanied the tsar in military campaigns. On the desk where Peter studied maritime sciences, one can see drawings and books on shipbuilding, maps, and a model of a Dutch vessel. The multimedia part of the exhibition tells the story of the Great Embassy, the diplomatic mission of Russia to Western Europe undertaken by Peter I in 1697-1698.

For the convenience of visitors, a ramp, audio guide, and touch kiosk are provided.
