1,000 years of Udmurt culture through archeology, history and ethnography. From excavations at the ancient settlement to the heyday of Glazov and the Glazovsky District of Vyatka Governorate.
The exhibition “Historical Glazov” consists of four separate parts: “Idnakar — the ancient settlement of the Udmurts”, “Glazov and Glazovsky District in the late 19th — early 20th century”, “Merchant’s shop” and “Kenos — the summer dwelling of the Udmurts”.
At the exhibition, the visitors can learn about pagan rites and the lifestyle of the ancestors of the northern Udmurts through artifacts found at the ruins of Cheptsa settlements and legends about the ancient Udmurt heroes.
A separate chapter presents the history of the district town of Glazov, where the grandfather of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky served as mayor, and the visits of emperors Alexander I and Alexander II engendered many a legend.
The exhibition displays various goods — the same ones that were traded in merchants’ shops more than a hundred years ago: a coffee grinder, a clock with a bell, an arithmometer, a butter churn and a kerosene lamp in the form of a demon’s head.
The exhibits made by Udmurt craftsmen lead to the Udmurt dwelling of the 19th — early 20th century, it is replete with examples of their labor and skill: here you can see embroidered dresses and shirts, birch baskets and clay bowls, wooden utensils and tools.
