Sightseeing tour of the city of Nerekhta.
Nerekhta is one of the most unique and distinctive corners of Kostroma land, a great example of a real Russian province.
It's like pages from different times are connected here. You will see ensembles of churches, cozy wooden houses with carved architraves and beautifully preserved merchant mansions of the XVIII-XIX centuries. You will also learn which great people have left their mark on its history and why Nerekhta is called the "open-air museum city".
We are going to visit the Frost master at the Lavrovsky wooden toy factory.
The program "Visiting the Frost master".
You will be immersed in the world of wooden toys and meet the real Frost master.
During the tour, you will learn about the features and production of wooden toys, when and what kind of toys appeared in Russia, and of course which toy is the most popular.
At the master class, together with the factory's design artists, you will paint Christmas decorations that will go home with you and become a worthy decoration for your Christmas tree.
A wonderful addition will be the game program "Master Frost's Ideas and amusements". Together we launch the bundles, master the quirk and tame the cripple, and make a New Year's wish.
And, of course, wonderful New Year's surprises and gifts are waiting for you.
