Exhibition dedicated to the history of a Russian doll opened in the Volgograd Regional Center of the Presidential Library

The Regional Center of the Presidential Library based on the M. Gorky Volgograd Regional Universal Scientific Library opened the exhibition "To the Origins of Folk Culture". Among the exhibits are traditional specimens of dolls: ritual, amulets and play ones.

The author of the works is Lyudmila Likhacheva, a member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia, a teacher of additional education at the Volgograd Children and Youth Center. The master has been making dolls for over 20 years. Today, she passes on her knowledge and love for arts and crafts to the younger generation.

The exposition also showcases works made by children. Each exhibit of the exhibition is unique and imbued with warmth. The exposition is open to visitors until August 31, 2023.

It should be noted that 2023 has been declared the Year of Teachers and Mentors. Transferring knowledge about traditional folk crafts from generation to generation, contributing to their careful preservation is an important task for craftsmen.
