I. Metshin: "Happy Childhood Museum is Kazan's new tourist attraction

1 June 2015, Monday
The Museum of Happy Childhood is a new tourist attraction of Kazan, said Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin during today's visit to the exposition dedicated to childhood in the Soviet Union on the occasion of the International Children's Day.

The Museum of Happy Childhood, located in a nineteenth century mansion near pedestrian Bauman street, opened this spring. Like the Museum of Soviet Lifestyle, it is one of its kind in Russia and was opened to commemorate the Soviet era. "The brand was born in Kazan. When similar museums appear in other cities, we will help them," said the museum director Rustem Valiakhmetov.

The museum first floor is almost entirely filled with exhibits related to Soviet childhood. Desks with peeling paint, yellowed wall newspapers and primers, rigid backpacks with heavy metal buckles – all immerse visitors in the atmosphere of the Soviet model school. The common thread of the exhibition is the theme of Young Pioneers and proletarian slogans, inextricably linked with the personality of Lenin. A special feature of the museum is that it is completely interactive: visitors can try on red scarves and knitted hats, flip through books, sit on bikes and rattle toys.
