The first museum of Slavic mythology
Tomsk - a city with a population of about 600 thousandperson. The Museum of Mythology, which opened here, was originally the foundation of the “Russian Way” and only a few years later became the real center of art and creativity. This was a huge event for such a small town. Currently, the museum of Slavic mythology in Tomsk includes a large art gallery dedicated to the works of Andrei Klimenko, Viktor Korolkov, Vsevolod Ivanov and many other contemporary artists. Anyone can attend these exhibitions any day. Very often, the museum organizes excursions for children, during which an experienced guide reveals to the kids an interesting, surprisingly mysterious world of myths and legends, accompanying his story with the presentation of exhibits.

The opportunity for young artists to express themselves

It enables young authors who follow the path of V. Vasnetsov, N. Roerich and many other artists (supporting the idea of national romanticism) to become famous and revive something in the present from the life of their ancestors.
The museum provides contemporary masters,working in the areas of mythology, Russian folk tales and epics, the ability to sell their work at exhibitions attended by a large number of people of different ages.
