Back to the Era of Lermontov

An interactive museum class “Unknown Lermontov” based on the exhibition materials from the State Lermontov Museum-Reserve “Tarkhany” was held in the Excursion and Exhibition Centre “The People’s House” for schoolchildren of the Sholokhov District.

The exhibition is devoted to the 200^th anniversary of the great Russian poet celebrated this year.

The children learned that Lermontov was not only a brilliant poet, but also an artist, musician, mathematician and a brave warrior. While watching the film from the museum “Tarkhany” the children learned about the childhood of Misha Lermontov, took a virtual tour to the estate of E.A.Arsenyeva, his grandmother, then they examined with interest the childhood drawings of the would-be poet, a chalk of the XIX century and coloured wax for modeling.

The children were particularly delighted with the active game “Baba-Yaga”, which young Misha Lermontov liked to play; they tried crambo and quill pen writing. Such an immersion into Lermontov era enabled the children of learning more about the poet and better understanding his creative work.
