Museum of Flax and Birch Bark
Музей-усадьба льна и бересты
A folk museum showcasing Kostroma's flax weaving and birch bark crafts, where visitors can try the work themselves and buy souvenirs.
Kostroma has long been Russia's flax capital. This private museum sits in a small estate in the direction of the monastery, and displays the full process of flax growing, spinning and weaving, along with birch bark objects in a range of woven forms. Guides demonstrate traditional spinning, and visitors can try making items by hand. The on-site shop sells linen clothing and birch bark crafts. It pairs well with a visit to the Ipatiev Monastery on the same day.
