Visit the “World of Forgotten Things” Museum

The museum is located in a 19th-century wooden mansion. Once, merchant Panteleev lived here with his 17 children. Today, the “World of Forgotten Things” Museum recreates the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary urban life in the finest detail. In the living room, an authentic early 20th-century gramophone plays; in the dining room, the table is set with porcelain and silver from that era; and in the children’s room, antique toys and books are displayed. The guides don’t just show the exhibits — they tell fascinating stories about how people lived in centuries past. A special charm is added by the cozy courtyard with flower beds, benches, and a decorative windmill, where you can relax after the tour and feel like a guest of an old Vologda estate.
