What lies behind the work of an archaeologist? This interactive program will offer participants not just a glimpse into the past, but a chance to touch it - with a trowel in hand and under the guidance of an experienced tour guide. An unusual activity will open in the Nikolskaya Tower of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin - a program where everyone can feel like a real archaeologist. Participants will learn how the past is researched and what secrets it may reveal. The program takes place at the exhibition "City at the Mouth of the Oka" and offers a unique experience - improvised excavations, familiarization with archaeological tools, and descent into the underground level of the tower, which was previously closed to visitors. This is not just a tour, but a true immersion into the science of archaeology. Guests will learn what medieval Nizhny Novgorod looked like, get acquainted with the culture of the Mordvin tribes that existed before the arrival of the Slavs. Everything happens in lively interaction with the exhibition: participants will not only hear about the finds but also touch the tools used in real expeditions. This program will be interesting for both teenagers and adults who are interested in history, culture, museum studies, or simply want to spend their time productively. This is a rare chance to experience archaeology in practice, within the walls of an ancient tower that has preserved many secrets. Ideas on where to go in Nizhny Novgorod are gathered on our website.
