“Chest house” is the name of a fragment of the exposition adjacent to one of the walls of the Angarsk village.
Pay attention to the floor. Without looking at your feet, you can fall. Yes, that’s right! After all, the floor is a symbolic raft of wooden round logs. Another unusual idea. Another important meaning, affecting not only the topic of forests, but also the forest industry of the Boguchansky district.
The hall is conditionally divided into two zones.
Right on the raft there is a glass box — a “chest house”. Every visitor can enter it. And see what used to be stored in the chests. An essential important attribute of the furniture of every home. Hyperbolization of the “chest house” allows you to feel yourself in an unusual atmosphere. Conditionally look into the chest from the inside.
Opposite the chest house there is a wall-a memory of the white stone church of Peter and Paul, built in 1795 and destroyed in 1936. The entire artistic and design solution of the hall follows from the history of the destruction of the only church in Boguchany. In 1936, the church was destroyed, under the pretext of the need for bricks for the construction of furnaces in the school. The iconostasis in the main church is seven-jointed, it was once gilded and decorated with rather rough and not everywhere successful carvings, after the destruction it was transported to the Yenisei diocese, now it is in the Krasnoyarsk Museum of Local Lore.
The white boxes resemble the brick that was required for the 32 furnaces of the built school — one of the versions of the destruction of the church. But the furnaces are just a pretext, the main reason is a new political course that denied the need for the existence of the church and religion.
The whole exposition creates a feeling of incompleteness with open boxes — conditional bricks. But these are also the bricks of history, where each box is a specific “case” with its own number and name, filled with photos, letters, documents
