Then the students took part in the master-classes “Making Rag Dolls”, “Decorative Felt” and “Making a Ceramic Candlestick”, and the 5^th form children took part in the interactive game “Visiting the Don Cossacks”.

The children liked the Museum activities and they came on a visit to Vyoshenskaya, the home country of M.A.Sholokhov.

The guests met with the museum-workers, who held consultations for them on the topics: “The Great Patriotic War in the Life and Work of M.A.Sholokhov”, “The History of Writing the Story “The Science of Hatred”, “Personal Correspondence of M.A.Sholokhov”, “The Tales of the Don” by M.A.Sholokhov” and answered the questions of the young researchers.

The Rostov visitors went sightseeing about the stanitsa, visited the Estate of M.A.Sholokhov, historical and literary exhibition, the stable and the exhibition “A Wanderer with a Russian Soul. M.Y.Lermontov. Destiny of the Poet-Warrior” of the State Lermontov Museum-Reserve “Tarkhany” and joined the museum classes “Weaving Mats of Grass”, “Painting of Decorative Plates” and “Decorative Wattle Fence”.
