Russian State Library. Library Russian State Library Scheme of the concert hall of the Russian State Library

Visit the exhibition "Books of the old house: the world of childhood 19th – early 20th centuries." I decided without my daughter, but in vain! I recommend showing children that pop-up books, paper dolls with clothes and copybooks did not appear now, they were already there at that time and were not inferior to modern ones. Moreover, entry to the exhibition is free for children;)

More than two hundred pre-revolutionary children's books from the collections of the Russian State Library were placed in the Ivanovo Hall. The exhibition is made in the form of a game, where you find yourself in a mansion-dacha, as on a sheet with the letter “D” from “The ABC in Pictures” by Alexandre Benois 1904. The house has a veranda and several rooms: rooms of parents and grandparents, boys’ rooms and girls, a secret room, a classroom and a servant's room. In every room there are old books showing us what representatives of three generations loved and read. The halls have multimedia stands where you can “look through” the books on display.

In the living room there are portraits on the walls and a large closet with 10 volumes of an illustrated encyclopedia. The oldest book, “Children's Book” (the first children's encyclopedia), dates back to 1794. Here you can also see the alphabet and the first books: “The ABC in Pictures”, the handwritten collection “Our Journal”.

In my grandparents' room there are drawings on the walls and a lot of foreign books. Grandfather loved travel books about great scientific discoveries. Grandma liked stories with beautiful pictures. And here is the hundredth edition of the book “Stupka-Russian” - poems with pictures about the consequences of disobedience. This is one of the first books written in the spirit of black humor.

There are comic magazines in my parents' room. Dad and mom are teaching their children tetras, so here the figures are cut out of cardboard and painted with watercolors. And here is a handwritten journal where high school girls described their visit to the Rumyantsev Museum - the first public museum in Moscow (now the Russian State Library).

We go to the boys' room, there are a lot of soldiers here, they are heroes of books, puppet theaters and children's albums.

And in the girls' room there are flowers and cats. Foreign books with beautiful illustrations allow you to create your own stories. By the way, some books were provided by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, a partner of the exhibition.

The classroom contains textbooks, Wimmelbook posters and other visual materials for non-boring learning. I was amazed by coloring books, books with flaps, cut and cut out pages. These books are 120 years old, and we only recently had the opportunity to buy such books.

In the maid's room there are publications for ordinary people: alphabet books and collections of poems and stories.

On the veranda there is everything for children to have fun: sheet music for children's songs, paper dolls with clothes to cut out, panoramic pictures, board games (in no way inferior to modern ones!) and chocolate wrappers with recipes for simple tricks.

It is no coincidence that the exhibition is being held in 2018 - on the centennial anniversary of the execution of the royal family. In the Secret Room are books from the personal library of Nicholas II’s great-grandmother, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. The room is divided into two parts: on the right is the life of the family before exile, on the left is life in exile. Before leaving, the parents bought books for the children - gifts for Christmas 1917 - then they did not yet know that this was the last Christmas in their lives. In the Chamber of Secrets you can see Nicholas II’s favorite painting “The Guslars”; it is a copy of the author Viktor Vasnetsov, painted for the autocrat. Brought from the Novgorod Museum-Reserve. The first painting is kept in the Perm State Art Gallery. The Novgorod Museum-Reserve is a partner of the exhibition. They brought 8 paintings for the exhibition.

The exhibition can be viewed with a guided tour for an additional fee, or you can travel with an additional reality guide - Artefact. Thanks to this mobile application, you can learn interesting facts about the exhibits in Russian and English.

As part of the exhibition, master classes for children and adults are held; groups are formed in advance. Cost from 600 to 2000 rubles.

Everyone in our family loves books. And while the older generation has switched to electronic books, children love printed books with pictures. Given this fact, we could not miss the opening of the exhibition in the Ivanovo Hall.

We were lucky to get acquainted with it on the eve of the official opening. I won’t repeat information from the announcement; I’d rather share my emotions and impressions.

And I’ll say right away: if your children love books, then definitely go!

The exhibition features a unique selection of children's books, teaching aids, educational posters and even confectionery wrappers from the 19th and early 20th centuries! The latter caused us real delight. In addition to beautiful illustrations, each wrapper contains the secrets of the tricks.

Of course, all copies are under glass, but nearby there are multimedia screens on which you can “flip through” the books! Stas and I saw some of them when we were on an excursion in the main library building.

At the entrance to the exhibition and in some halls you will meet real-size characters from books; they are, of course, made of cardboard, but they create the feeling that you are in some kind of children's book with characters come to life.

We don’t know who lived in this house; the authors of the exhibition did not set out to show anyone’s specific rooms. Each visitor can guess for himself who was the owner of each room based on the books left behind.
The exception is the Chamber of Secrets, it is dedicated to the royal family and takes us to 1918, the year of the execution of the imperial family.

The room is secretly divided into two parts: on the right hand we see photographs of a peaceful time for the family, books that their children read, including in foreign languages. Favorite painting that Nicholas II took with him to his dacha.
On the left hand is everything connected with the royal family in exile. When they left, they did not yet know what awaited them and bought books for the children for Christmas; nothing could break this tradition.
And it is these books signed by “mom” and “dad” for their children that can be seen in this part of the room. It's amazing that they survived.

When I looked at all these books, covers, illustrations, I couldn’t help but think how much our country had lost with the advent of Soviet power! A huge cultural layer was destroyed. Many of the newfangled books that are now published by modern publishers at incredible prices were already available then, more than a hundred years ago.

But let’s not talk about sad things, because in addition to the rooms of grandparents, parents and children on the first floor, there is also a second floor waiting for us.
This is where the veranda with entertaining literature and drawing tables is located for the youngest visitors to the exhibition. For them, stools are prudently located near the high display cases.

Nearby there is a classroom with a large screen on which pages of textbooks are broadcast. There are posters on the walls, voluminous crafts from magazines on the shelf. In the middle there is a large table for master classes.

The schedule can be viewed on the library website. They are paid: from 600 to 2000 rubles. Conducted by appointment, subject to a group of three to six people. Ages vary, from 7 to 15 years and parents.
The servants' quarters were hidden in a corner. Here you can see books on raising children, games :).

In each room on the walls you can see mischievous kittens, heroes of one of the books for the shadow theater. And also statements about children and books corresponding to each time presented in a particular room.

We spent a whole hour at the exhibition; if it weren’t for a school day, we would have wandered around there much longer, because we wanted to look at and “read” all the books! The atmosphere there is very pleasant, classical music plays in the background and you involuntarily plunge into this amazing magical world of childhood, albeit alien, which children of a completely different generation had long before you were born.

Do you like the calm, thoughtful silence of libraries or exhibition halls? If so, here you go: A very interesting exhibition is currently taking place in the Ivanovo Hall of the Russian State Library.
⠀
"Emperor Alexander II. Education through enlightenment.” Olga Leonidovna Solomina, our guide, a professional and a person in love with her business, helped us get acquainted with it.
⠀
Honestly, thanks to literature (and I’m also a bookworm), I know the biographies of French and English kings much better than those of Russia. This material turned out to be even more interesting for me.
⠀
A very unexpected subject was chosen for the exhibition. Usually in our minds the king is an adult and intelligent person who rules the state.
Here the main emphasis is on the education and formation of the personality of the future tsar, Alexander II.
⠀
I never thought about how future kings study, what subjects and according to what system. Perhaps the only information was the princess in the cartoon 12 months old, not wanting to do her homework.
⠀
Here we meet the Tsarevich’s main mentor, V.A. Zhukovsky, who taught him at home under the supervision of Nicholas I, an attentive and responsible father and monarch.
⠀
The schedule of classes, where there are so few vacation days, the future king’s copybooks, completed with incredible diligence and accuracy, his drawings. At the same time, I would like to separately note that this is a completely professional academic drawing.
⠀
What surprised me most was how responsibly my father treated the education of his heir. Before the start of training, the little prince's main mentor was given the opportunity to travel around Europe and study progressive education systems.
In addition, the father read daily the teacher’s reports about the past day, containing not only an extract of what had been learned, but also observations of the character traits of such a high-ranking student.
⠀
Another interesting document was Alexander’s personality profile, written at the time of graduation. Among the strong qualities that stood out were: purity of heart, sound mind, good memory; of the weak - weakness of will, laziness of mind, strong inclination to argue.
⠀
The next stage of training was a six-month trip around Russia. Here again they managed to surprise me. We were shown a route sheet, a letter of instruction from father to son.
⠀
I won't tell you everything.
⠀
Lots of interesting and different exhibits. Books from the personal collections of empresses, which can be viewed in convenient multimedia “leaflets”. A very well and professionally made video film about the coronation (by the way, much of it was surprisingly new and previously unknown to me), original documents with handwritten signatures of the king and the royal family. Please note that for the safety of documents, the room is lightly twilight and relatively cool; it would be a good idea to bring a shawl.

Come, watch, study. The doors of the Ivanovo Hall await their visitors.

Children's books we didn't know.

We go to the boys' room, there are a lot of soldiers here, they are heroes of books, puppet theaters and children's albums.

In the maid's room there are publications for ordinary people: alphabet books and collections of poems and stories.

As part of the exhibition, master classes for children and adults are held; groups are formed in advance. Cost from 600 to 2000 rubles.

An educational exhibition with unique copies of books and an excellent multimedia supplement

Last week, my daughter and I visited the Ivanovo Hall of the Russian State Library at the exhibition “Alexander II. Education through enlightenment”, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the emperor’s birth.
In 1862, the Rumyantsev Museum was founded in Moscow, whose Picture Gallery, as a result of reconstruction, turned into the Ivanovo Hall.
It is best to start your inspection from the second floor, where exhibits related to the childhood and youth of the future emperor are located. For example, the books that Grand Duchess Alexandra Feodorovna read to her son. You can even “look through” them on multimedia stands. Also presented are copybooks, sheets from the diary, and a class schedule compiled by V. A. Zhukovsky
In 1856, the coronation of Alexander II took place, in honor of which a wonderful coronation album was released. At the exhibition you can watch a film made on chromolithographs of the album - the effect of complete immersion is obtained.
The first floor is dedicated to the cultural and scientific activities of the emperor.
Here you can see books from Alexandra Feodorovna’s library, which were bound by the best craftsmen of that time in exquisite bindings made of morocco, brocade and moire silk. The Empress's library was exhibited in a separate room of the Rumyantsev Museum, decorated with her last (1856) portrait by the artist Franz Xavier Winterhalter.
There are also exhibits related to the celebration of the Millennium of Russia and the Polytechnic Exhibition. The explosion is complemented by a slide show based on authentic photographs.
We especially liked the copybooks, drawings and class schedule of the future emperor, and, of course, the multimedia stands and halls with films and photographs. Therefore, I advise everyone who will be walking in the center this summer (until August 22) to be sure to look at Starovagankovsky Lane, which is located right behind Pashkov’s house, and visit the exhibition “Education through Enlightenment”, I promise it will be interesting.

Always, passing by the Pashkov House with its grandiose main entrance, I wanted to look inside) A dream came true thanks to the Russian State Library, the Night of Arts and the community of cultural bloggers Moskultura! The organizers of Moscow Culture tirelessly find incredible events that you can attend in exchange for a review.
Built in just two years at the end of the 18th century, one of the most beautiful buildings in Moscow delighted Muscovites with a garden with fountains and exotic birds (for the first time, black swans were brought here from England), there was an observation deck on the roof (for the first time one could boldly look at the Kremlin look from top to bottom!), and visiting Italians said about the Pashkov House that it had only one drawback - it was not in Italy)

“Chinese geese, various breeds of parrots, white and motley peacocks are here free or hanging in expensive cages. These rarities, together with the general beauty of this house, attract large crowds of people here on Sundays and holidays” (Johann Richter, German traveler, 1799)

Not being an aristocrat, Pashkov loved and knew how to impress with the newest, most fashionable, most expensive. True, the middle-aged dandy only managed to live in his enchanting palace for four years, and after his death, the heir received the building along with a bunch of debts.
The pompous gate with a lion leading to the main entrance to the building from Staro-Vagankovsky Lane is similar to the Arc de Triomphe and is decorated with very funny decorative hop cones - plaster, due to a clever design they sway in a strong wind)
Our guide Daria Khudeeva told us that Pyotr Pashkov made his fortune as a wine and vodka monopolist - the chandeliers in the house are stylized as blue amphorae with crystal splashes.
During the development of Moscow, the garden area disappeared, during the war with Napoleon the observation deck burned down and the historical interiors were destroyed, everything was redrawn and redone, but the palace still amazes the article with its majestic panoramas! It is from its roof in Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita” that Volan and Azazzelo examine Moscow and Muscovites)

“At sunset, high above the city, on the stone terrace of one of the most beautiful buildings in Moscow, a building built about a hundred and fifty years ago, there were two people: Woland and Azazello. They were not visible from below, from the street, since they were hidden from unnecessary gaze by a balustrade with plaster vases and plaster flowers. But they could see the city almost to the very edges..."

Perhaps the biggest impression on me inside was the cast-iron spiral staircases with Art Nouveau patterns - standing on them, you could feel like a student at the magical Hogwarts)
I won’t lie that I knew that the Pashkov House is one of the buildings of the Russian State Library, where ancient maps, sheet music and sound recordings, and rare manuscripts are kept. To get here without a tour, you just need to sign up for the former Leninka, the card is issued almost instantly, you can have any registration in your passport, visiting the reading rooms is free.
In 1862, it was in the Pashkov House that the Moscow Public and Rumyantsev Museums began their work with the first public city library; before that, only private collections existed! One of the readers for 40 years was Leo Tolstoy. The Rumyantsev Library was based on the rich collection of Count Nikolai Rumyantsev (1754-1826), which consisted of 28,512 volumes of books, 710 manuscripts and handwritten books, as well as objects of art and ethnography. Before his death, the count bequeathed to transfer everything “for the benefit of the Fatherland and for good enlightenment.”
With trepidation, I looked at the worn leather bindings of handwritten books with coats of arms that still remember the tsarist times, with the rich smell of time, darkened sheets of rags. Usually in museums you can’t touch, leaf through, or smell these things! The oldest books date back to the 6th century. The collection contains manuscripts of all Russian writers, except Pushkin and Tolstoy. Tolstoy's are kept in the Tolstoy Museum, and Pushkin's are in the Pushkin House in St. Petersburg.
Other bloggers and I found an interesting exhibition where, under glass, we could look at drafts, drawings and the will of Nikolai Gogol. The future great writer did not like school, he only liked botany, so he was deprived of tea for laziness) Teachers’ notes about this were preserved in his student diary. Here is an excellent example of the fact that in life you should always do what you feel like doing - God be with them, with tea and bagels!
The fund of music publications and sound recordings is also luxurious and contains completely unique publications. For example, lifetime editions of sheet music by Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Gluck, first editions of works by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Beethoven, Verdi. Incl. On the records here you can listen to the works of domestic and foreign composers, music of different nationalities, speeches of politicians and artists, the voices of birds. And you can end there, but I recommend not stopping... and moving on. to the stables, which have now become reading rooms. You would admire the Rumyantsev hall. There are ancient manuscripts and books that I have only seen in museums. With bindings and history. This is exactly Hogwarts as it is! But you need special permission to go there. And you go to the left wing - the music and music department and the cartographic publications department. Walk past the maps and these huge tables where they are carefully laid out. There is even a map where Crimea is ours and there are three copies of it: in the president’s office, in libraries, and I forgot where the third one is. And go to the music department. Just imagine that you can order any vinyl record there and listen to it with a luxurious view of the Kremlin, sitting in a cozy room under the lampshade of a green lamp. Isn't this delight? And if you also play the piano, there is an instrument there. Control to the head. The girl will be stunned.
Well, in principle, I didn’t know that Lenin’s library is now easily accessible; it is the second largest in our country after the Library of Congress. Just imagine that every book of any kind published in print must be kept in paper form in one copy. Overall, I was impressed by all of this. And I advise you, when passing by, not to pass by... firstly, it’s beautiful!;) and the guide Daria Khadeeva not only knows everything and expertly answers questions that go beyond the “house”, but also does it with soul.
