The Museum of Ingenuity in Pereslavl resembles the "Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful." By visiting it, you will get acquainted with examples of Russian technical creativity and see that the imagination and inventiveness of our people are indeed limitless. Although many inventions of our ancestors are no longer relevant and forgotten, some of them we continue to use in the 21st century, albeit in an updated form. How can we simplify daily life with improvised means? What became the prototype of modern kitchen processors? What crafts was Pereslavl famous for? Experienced museum guides will tell you all this and much more.
The museum was founded in 2011 by Oleg Borisovich Gunderin. Despite its modest area of 40 sq. m, the rich exhibition is housed in one room of a single-story white wooden house. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the creator, the museum's collection is constantly being replenished with new exhibits.
The exhibition focuses on ancient household items that were used in peasant farms. Here you can see a variety of spinning wheels, bottle openers, a stool-cane, a bottle-refrigerator, ceramic products, traps for garden pests, primitive scales, clothing, home textiles, irons, and much more. The collection also includes special dishes for men with mustaches, musical bottles, washbasins, nutcrackers, lanterns for carriages, devices for processing fruits, laundry detergents, as well as agricultural tools such as a plow, harrow, and hoe.
Guides will help you understand the purpose and principles of operation of each item. Since many exhibits are well-preserved, you will have the opportunity not only to see them but also to try them in action.
