The Historical Museum has opened a splendid exhibition dedicated to the works of 19th century Skopino craftsmen.
More than 80 works are presented in the Chairman's Cabinet in the Main Building of the Historical Museum. Unique figural vessels, candlesticks, sculptures and tiles inspired by folk folklore are collected in three main sections of the exhibition.
The ceramicists of Skopin drew their inspiration from folk tales and transferred their favorite images into plastic forms of ceramics, where mythical characters neighbor with animals and people.
The center of artistic ceramics emerged in Skopin, Ryazan province, in the 1860s and existed until 1917.
