The House of the manufacturer Dumnov

The Museum was created by the famous Moscow doll artist , granddaughter of the manufacturer S. I. Dumnov Maslennikova Galina, who bought her ancestral house from the government over 15 years ago and restored it with historical accuracy. According to the conclusion of the leading experts of the State Institute of art history, this house, decorated with rich Argunovskaya carving, is of considerable artistic and historical value and is a part of a complex of buildings, still preserved in the region that are directly related to a silk production and which combines the residential and industrial function.

Manufacturers Dumnov's house is the main component of a large country estate spread on the high bank of the river Sherna with numerous flower gardens, fruit and berry orchards and two large meadows, overlooking the river. On the territory of the estate there is a traditional for rural weavers log factory Svetelka – copy of the old, with the existing manual equipment for the production of silk velvet. Here you will see a collection of vintage silk and velvet fabrics of the 19-th century and rare women's clothes made of these fabrics.

There is also a unique exhibition of dolls in Svetelka, united by a common story about the life of the Russian village and objects of peasant life of rural weavers of the 19-th century.

The entire exhibition of the estate and restored interiors of the house, full of old household items, recreate an authentic atmosphere of life in a big Russian family of the 19-th century and give you the opportunity to feel like a participant in a long ago gone life: to visit the house of the hospitable merchants Dumnovs, to try delicious soup and cakes, buckwheat porridge with mushrooms, cooked in a Russian stove, drink tea from samovar with fragrant herbs, gathered from the surrounding water meadows of the river Sherna, work on a weaving loom to make a peasant doll-twist, to listen to the songs of the peasant women-weavers, and in the evening relax in the Russian sauna.
