The exhibition "Old New Year" is the magic of the holiday through the decades. Glass and cotton Christmas ornaments, garlands, Soviet postcards, and figures of Ded Moroz recreate the atmosphere of childhood. Here, memories come to life, and forgotten stories of the beloved holiday of the entire country are revealed. The exhibition "Old New Year" has opened at the State Darwin Museum - a true journey through time for all who love the atmosphere of the winter holiday. The exhibition features over 200 unique exhibits from the private collection of Olga Ryabtseva - a member of the Union of Private Museums and Collectors. Through toys, garlands, and postcards, visitors can trace how the appearance of the New Year holiday in the USSR changed from the 1930s to the 1980s. Central to the exhibition are Christmas decorations: cotton and glass balls, cardboard figures, symbols of ideology and era. From revolutionary five-pointed stars and Red Army soldiers - to space satellites, rockets, and childhood heroes. These little things are a true chronicle of the country, reflecting changes in culture, technology, and lifestyle. Special attention is also paid to technological shifts: how manual labor was replaced by mass production, how candles gave way to garlands, and how toys evolved into new forms and materials. One of the most touching sections was the exhibition dedicated to Ded Moroz and Snegurochka. Their images, made of cotton, papier-mâché, rubber, and polyethylene, tell of the desire to preserve the fairy tale even in the most difficult times. These figures have been symbols of the holiday since 1937 - and continue to be its heart. The exhibition is aimed at all generations. Adults will find reflections of their memories here, while children will get acquainted with the festive culture that they previously knew only from stories.
