The museum planned to open a Tatar settlers’ farmstead from the Stolypin era and the farmstead of a Ukrainian settler.
The Taltsy Architectural and Ethnographic Museum has switched to a new exhibition zone devoted to settlers. The museum’s director, Vladimir Tikhonov, said that in 2025 it was planned to open a farmstead of Tatar settlers from the time of the Stolypin reform and the farmstead of a Ukrainian settler.
Because of this, deadlines for other buildings in the “tract” historical and architectural zone, which has taken almost 20 years to build, have shifted. In 2024 Taltsy received 232,000 visitors — as many as before the pandemic — and about half of them were young people. The museum tells about the daily life and ethnography of the peoples of the Baikal region; a glass-blowing workshop was planned on the Moscow Tract with a grant from the Potanin Foundation.
