The Regional Museum of Local Lore of Irkutsk with the exhibition "Eastern Space celebrated the New Year according to the lunar calendar Automatic translate

IRKUTSK. The Regional Museum of Local Lore is waiting for visitors to the exhibition "Eastern Space", which opened on February 16, where the works of Siberian artists are collected. The authors of each of the works sought to acquaint future viewers with the culture of the peoples that have long lived in the territory of the Baikal region.

Employees of the museum for a reason chose the time to open the exhibition these days. Sergei Stupin, director of the museum of local lore, reminded those present at the opening of the exhibition that many peoples living in Siberia have long been counting time on the lunar calendar. This calendar says that now the New Year has come to the territory of the Baikal region.

The beginning of the work of the East Space exhibition, which is located in the Window to Asia department, is timed to coincide with this holiday. The director of the museum called the Siberians happy people who have the opportunity to continue to celebrate the New Year until the first spring days. I would like to see a wonderful mood, inspired by the works included in the exhibition, accompany everyone who visited the new exhibition.

The organizers of the exhibition created a surprisingly colorful exposition, which housed not only portraits and amazingly beautiful landscapes of the Baikal region, but also genre paintings, where the national color is clearly visible. Paintings are complemented by ceramics made by the authors in an oriental style.

In addition to organizing the exhibition, museum employees have planned many interesting events. Master classes will be held, each of which will help to get acquainted with the national traditions of the celebration of the "lunar New Year" - Sagaalgan. The museum’s guests will be presented with a film about the “Yordyn Games”, an international ethnic festival, and the kids will be able to see cartoons in the Buryat language.
