Historical and Cultural Heritage

The Historic and cultural heritage exhibition offers a broad array of exhibits. The artifacts of the ancient burial places reveal the specific mode of living characteristic of the tribes, which inhabited the territory of present-time Tatarstan centuries before Christ. The lithographs, paintings and sculptures give visitors an idea of the lost architectural monuments, history figures’ life stories, and events of long ago. Old articles help visualize the everyday life of people centuries ago.

Visitors will get to know about the Ananyino culture beliefs and metal treatment secrets, about what an aquamanile is and what spherical cones were used for, why Catherine II came to Kazan, and what the city looked like in the 19th century.
