Craftsmanship

“The person enriching his mind through knowledge must still learn how to enjoy life,” said Nikolai I. Lobachevsky in his speech “On the most important aspects of education.”

It was important to Lobachevsky that students exist in harmony, balancing hard academic work with a taste for the finer things in life. A great sense of craftsmanship is needed in both cases, and many residents of Tatarstan develop this skill through their upbringing. The region is known for its spirit of sharpening skills and pursuing previously unattainable levels of excellence. For this reason, educational programs, including continuing education courses, are particularly popular in Tatarstan. The pursuit of such perfection is seen in arts and crafts, as fine traditional and national costumes find new life outside of museum spaces, and as architectural monuments are brought back to life thanks to the work of restorers.

Significant objects

National Museum

The history of the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan began at the end of the 19th century when the people of Kazan all together collected money for its founding. It has had many names since then – Governorate, Central, State, State United Museum, but in essence it remains the same. The museum is celebrated for its first-class restoring studios and carefully selected exhibits.

Alexandrovsky Passage

Alexandrovsky Passage serves as a whimsical example of the synthesis of European style with Eastern fancifulness. In 1880, first guild merchant Alexander S. Aleksandrov wanted to create a shopping arcade similar to the Vivienne in Paris, but the project evolved into an even more ambitious undertaking, as such a structure had never been built in Kazan.
