The exhibition "Adam Olearius' Journey to Muscovy"
Researchers of Russian history, in search of information, carry out careful work with documents and sources, among which the notes of foreign travelers play an important role. They contain materials about the everyday and social aspects of the life of the state, and although the tales of foreigners often include false information and erroneous judgments, nevertheless, travelers described customs quite accurately and in detail, which were very different from their usual rituals and actions.

Researchers of Russian history pay considerable attention to the study of documents and sources, including notes by foreign travelers. These notes contain valuable information about the everyday and social aspects of life in Russia. Although there may be inaccuracies and erroneous judgments in such stories, travelers often described customs quite accurately and in detail, which were very different from those to which they were accustomed.
The exhibition "Adam Olearius' Journey to Muscovy" is dedicated to the period of Adam Olearius' stay in the Russian Kingdom. The exhibition includes items illustrating texts written by the German traveler. The exhibition presents ancient book editions of the XVII century, metal tableware used in everyday life, terracotta and glazed polychrome tiles that decorated facades and interiors of buildings, icons and carved wooden elements of church decoration. A foreigner's view of an unfamiliar country, where many things cause surprise and admiration, is reminiscent of how a modern visitor to the exhibition perceives the distant XVII century.
