The classes will comprise 3 modules: an excursion, tests on the exhibition guidebook and a workshop on making an accessory.

During the excursion the children will learn about the history and evolution of the attire of the Don Cossack women, will be able to compare the clothes and headwear of the XVI century to those of the XIX and XX centuries.

The children will need attention and acumen to unscramble the encrypted information from the exhibition guidebook.
