THE EXPERIENCE OF PRESERVATION AND POPULARIZATION OF FOLKLORISTIC AND ETHNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS ABOUT RUSSIAN SIBERIANS IN THE MUSEUM OF SEVERSK
Great attention in the work of municipal museum of the city of Seversk is paid to preservation and popularization of cultural heritage of Russian Siberians, migrants of other nationalities, Belarusians and Ukrainians in particular, as well as indigenous people of Siberia. At the permanent local history exposition “Along the river of time”, and at the temporary expositions held in the museum the regular events, such as excursions, lectures, lessons for schools and pre-schools of the city according to special cultural-educational programs are developed by the museum staff. The museum conducted a number of regional and federal projects, including: “Folk calendar. Creative workshops by traditions of Russian Siberians”, “Orthodoxy. Binding. Creativity” for social adaptation of children with disabilities. In 2015 the new project Museum holiday “For the sake of eloquent-sounding word” was supported by federal program “Culture of Russia 2012–2018” within nomination “Non-material cultural heritage of the Russian people”. Ethnographic exhibit items and their importance for museum-pedagogical work is constantly growing, especially when working with children as the materials enable to go deep into history and touch the life of our remote ancestors. In traditional culture of any nation every object like work equipment, clothes, dishware or cultural objects were made with one’s own hands exactly like their ancestors did, following the definite rules, bans and ceremonies. These objects disappear very fast or have already disappeared from daily life and they are often kept only in museums. Peculiarity of traditional culture of Russian Siberians in suburban villages of Tomsk is expressed in long time intrusion of city household items into peasants’ life and large influence of city culture in general. Descendants of inhabitants from all of these settlements currently live in Seversk, Tomsk, and other settlements and keep the memory of their ancestors. To perform the project “For the sake of eloquent-sounding word” several scenarios were developed where project participants – museum staff in national costumes engage in conversation, talk only by proverbs and sayings. Russian folk proverbs keep large public significance up to the present days from the informative, educational and aesthetic point of view. This is like a philosophical genre consolidating the rich life experience.
