A ball, games, history, and a bit of magic - at the Children's Center of the Russian Museum, New Year is celebrated as it was done several centuries ago. The program invites children and parents to peek into festive St. Petersburg of the 18th century. In an interactive format, guests will learn how balls and assemblies were held, what traditions accompanied winter holidays, how Christmas trees were decorated, and what entertainments were popular at the court. In the guise of Empress Catherine II and her maids of honor, the hosts engage participants in dances, conversations, and a historical quiz. Let us remind you that during the holidays, the Russian Museum also invites children to workshops. Among them are creating figures of the symbol of the year, making 3D postcards and paintings, painting winter landscapes with watercolors, and more.
