Belgorod Museum of Folk Culture, Folk culture museum in Belgorod, Russia.
The Belgorod Museum of Folk Culture holds traditional objects, regional clothing, and handmade crafts from the local area. The displays show how people lived here and what skills were part of their daily lives.
The museum opened in 1999 to preserve the folk arts and crafts traditions of the region. Since then it has recorded and protected the handmade practices of people living here.
Craft demonstrations take place in the workshops where artisans show how they weave and embroider using traditional methods passed down through families. You can watch these skilled workers and see the techniques that remain important to the local identity.
