The exhibition of the Komi-Permyak Local History Museum named after P. I. Subbotin-Permyak tells about the process of populating the Upper Kama region beginning from the Stone Age, the development of the Komi-Permyak people, the traditional culture and way of life of the Komi-Permyak people, the beliefs and traditions of the Perm people.
“Chude”, “chuzhdy” — this is how the Slavs called the ancestors of the Komi-Permyak people. The legendary white-eyed Chudes — a semi-mythical people, who went underground — are surrounded by mysteries and unique household and cult items.
The exhibition sees the eras succeed each other: next to the diorama “The Cro-Magnon Man” hunting weapons and bones of ancient animals of the Stone Age are displayed, the hall of the Komi-Permyak culture shows female and male jewelry in the Perm animal style, while black and white photos depict rituals of the 19th century.
The exhibition “Land of the Chudes” is rich in legends and tales, ranging from the myth of the man-bear Kudym-Osh to the story of Saint Simeon of Verkhoturye. There are felted hunter’s hats and Holy gates, paintings by unknown serf artists and works by the famous architect Andrey Voronikhin, Leshy and Michael the Archangel, a narty sled and a cast-iron anchor.
