About

How were New Year photo albums created in the pre-digital era? This children's masterclass will help look at winter holidays through the lens of time. Kids will see retro photographs, learn about the first cameras, and create their own album of favorite winter snapshots - in the spirit of warm memories. New Year is not just about gifts and tangerines, but also about the memories we keep in photographs. Today, it’s enough to take out a phone and snap a picture. But a hundred years ago, it was a whole ritual: tripod, exposure, film. What each photograph meant at that time, which shots were considered especially valuable, and what cameras looked like in the 20th century - this will be discussed in the museum session for children. Participants will see a selection of vintage New Year and Christmas photos, learn how photography became part of holiday tradition, and how technology changed over the decades. At the end of the session, children will have a creative part: they will create their own photo album - small, but very personal. They can bring their own photographs taken during the holidays to decorate and fill the album with real stories. The masterclass is aimed at children aged 8 to 12 and will suit both those interested in photography and those who simply want to learn more about the past. It is a warm and calm format where knowledge and creativity easily combine. Such a session gives a reason to look into the past, compare it with the present, and realize the value of each shot. Perhaps after it, the child will start to look at the family album differently and want to capture their own winter with special attention. Ideas on where to go in Yekaterinburg are collected on our website.
