We visit the famous Museum of Wooden Architecture in Kostroma. Here in Kosrtoma region, many wooden buildings of different times survived. The decision to create a museum was caused by Gorky hydroelectric station & dam construction on the Volga. Due to the construction works, several villages were threatened with flooding. In order to identify the most valuable architectural monuments and save them from the advancing water, the Soviet Academy of Science sent as few expeditions in the 50s of the last century. As a result, many wooden structures were transported to Kostroma Sloboda in Kostroma - masterpieces of Russian architecture.
