In 1991 a 19th-century wooden mansion became the home to a new museum dedicated to everyday items of bygone eras. The dining room, living room, children's room and study on the first floor have been carefully recreated to appear how they would have looked in pre-revolution Russia, using authentic items and furniture taken from estates around Vologda which no longer exist. The second floor exhibits portraits dating from the 18th and 19th century. All in all it is a very quaint museum, definitely worth a visit. The museum is run as a branch of the Vologda State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve.
