Dear visitors!
We invite you to join engaging, informative guided tours of our museum. During the tour, guests will become acquainted with the museum’s exhibitions, historical exhibits and cultural heritage.
The museum offers both general and thematic guided tours across six exhibition halls and temporary exhibitions.
General guided tours provide an overview of the exhibition, presenting information that helps visitors form a broad understanding of the display and of the historical period represented in the hall. Such tours are also referred to as multi-themed tours, as they present information about a city or national culture through exhibits of different types and subjects, such as musical instruments, clothing, traditions, and household items belonging to the culture of a particular people or state.
A thematic guided tour focuses on a specific topic. For example, it may cover a particular historical event; the life, work, and historical significance of a specific person; or provide a detailed account of a particular aspect of culture based on the items displayed in the exhibition.
