Today I received a lot of wonderful emotions ❤️ ❤️ ❤️, visiting with like-minded friends an ethnic private open-air museum of folk culture in the village of Mayaki.
Leaving the forest we have a wonderful landscape - a view of the Lighthouses.
The village is located in a valley between two hills, more precisely between two small chalk mountains characteristic of this area.
The idea of an antique dealer # Gennady Mikhailovich Kirkach just rolls over. This man has created and continues to create a museum in the Ukrainian style since very ancient times. Now there are several objects from the time of the Zaporizhzhya Sich - patrol towers stationary and mobile, barns, huts.
Entering the courtyard, our attention was immediately attracted by a white-walled hut - a typical hut of the XIX century, built of logs and coated with clay mixture. This museum exhibit was erected right on this place in the 1870s, immediately after the abolition of serfdom, remained almost original, although it underwent some restoration. But this is a trifle, given that the hut is over 150 years old. Now this white-walled hut is made of different antiquities, and the hut itself is the same thing with the old Russian stove.
A small chapel was built, which is painted by our beautiful artists # N_Koryagin and # V_Radkovsky with a belfry, which will ring the old copper bells, which are already in the collection of antiquary.
Not a single courtyard of the past centuries could do without a well, and the well of that time was also somewhat reconstructed, although it is located on the very same place.
Absolutely all work on reconstruction and restoration is carried out by the founder, Gennady Mikhailovich at his own expense.
In this historic courtyard, the author builds various outbuildings corresponding to that time.
A lot of work is done by the founder of the museum, or rather, the Creative and Cultural Laboratory in the village of Mayaki, as Gennady Mikhailovich himself calls it.
He collected a huge number of different antiquities, different cultural values, and they all need exhibition space, because only in this way will they be of educational use.
Gennady Mikhailovich is full of ideas that he is going to bring to life in this amusing courtyard. The plans include a bread museum, a pottery museum and an art gallery, which slowly but surely acquires its shape. And this is for the next year or two, and then - a million ideas, but their implementation requires resources and time.
To bring this place to a perfect view, the founder of the museum is happy to accept any help - building materials, working hands, and finances, of course.
If any of my readers can help with anything, please contact Gennady Mikhailovich by phone + 38-099-77-25-938.
If you do not have such an opportunity, I recommend simply visiting the creative and cultural laboratory in the village of Mayaki.
Today, our team has provided little help to the owner.
A delicious kulesh in cauldrons was cooked on a Russian stove, which served us as a dinner.
After lunch, our talents gave us creative enjoyment.
It was a beautiful day, even though it was drizzling. Happy emotions, enjoying nature, cultural program and society.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Sunday is always so joyful!!!!
