Museum of the Holy Righteous Admiral Fyodor Ushakov and the Russian Fleet

Admiral Fyodor Fyodorovich Ushakov is a native of our region, canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.

The museum is located in a building built at the end of the 19th century, which housed the fire brigade and the police. In the first exhibition, visitors get acquainted with the admiral's mundane and military exploits. The second hall contains exhibits with marine symbols. The largest hall is dedicated to the Russian Navy and its traditions. It is a sailing ship with yards, bowsprit, sails and open ports for artillery fire. In the center of the hall there is a table from the mess hall. Well, what kind of museum is there without interactive? Beating the bell on a real marine market, knitting sea knots, working with a real sail, semaphore, sound and flag alphabet of the ship - what else do children and adults need to feel like a navigator.
