Brief historical background, collections and exhibitions of the museum
Status: Non-profit cultural institution (private museum) "Mir Vremeni" ("World of Time").
The museum opened on November 5, 2008. "Mir Vremeni" is an unusual museum. It lacks the usual attributes – labels explaining the origin of an exhibit, as well as signs like "do not touch" or "maintain silence." A visit to "Mir Vremeni" is not a simple viewing of exhibits, but an active, educational, and fascinating interaction between visitors and the guide. Guests can touch exhibits that catch their eye, take photos with their favorite items, or even try them on.
The museum's collection is constantly growing. Currently, it consists of more than ten thousand exhibits. The "Mir Vremeni" museum has several branches. The main branch houses the largest part of the museum's collection. The exhibition items reflect a wide variety of times and countries. The exhibition hall contains a collection of glass exhibits. It features an "Eastern exhibition" – all sorts of glass items from China, Japan, and India. Visitors learn about their history during the "Fragile Miracle" tour. The second branch of the museum presents exhibits related to the pre-revolutionary period and the Soviet era. "Mir Vremeni" also has a rich library. There, one can get acquainted with books, periodicals, calendars, and postcards from different eras. You can read socio-political and literary-artistic magazines from the late 19th to early 20th centuries – "Russkaya Mysl" (Russian Thought), "Solntse Rossii" (Sun of Russia), "Russkie Zapiski" (Russian Notes), and children's magazines "Solnyshko" (Little Sun) and "Rodnik" (The Spring). You can also browse through old herbal guides and learn something new from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. There is a small shop at the Museum of Time. Customers can find interesting antiques here — coins, stamps, dishes, and equipment. And anyone interested can consign interesting items. They will either go on the shop shelf or into the museum.
