Hello, museum!

Autumn is the beginning of a new school year. And Polotsk museum welcome new visitors.

In September on the basis of the Museum of Local Lore in the limits of the museum pedagogical programme for 3-rd-year pupils there took place the studies on the topic “ Hello, museum!”. The pupils of Polotsk State Gymnasium №3 and Polotsk Secondary Schools № 1, № 2, № 6 and №18 learned the origin of the word “museum”, where the first “ temples of muses” had been opened, when the first museum had appeared in our town.

During the studies the children had a good opportunity to touch 1000-year-old history, to hold the ancient things that the museum exhibits today. The research workers told them how these things had appeared in the museum funds and then in constant exhibitions.

Museum pedagogical studies teach modern pupils to be sympathetic, to take care of rich history of their land, of cultural inheritance of their native town.
