Society and Culture: Exhibition about resort traditions in northern environs of St. Petersburg underway

An exhibition dedicated to resort traditions in northern environs of St. Petersburg was launched on May 23, 2019 in the Korf Hall of the National Library of Russia (Sadovaya Street, 18).  

The exhibition highlights the dacha life of St. Petersburg residents at the turn of 19th-20th centuries, as well as famous resorts located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, which is still a popular destination of dacha owners. Photographs, maps, plans, albums and directories from the collections of the National Library of Russia help to revive the atmosphere of that time.
