The museum is fascinating, unusual and well-sanctifying the life of the Old Believers! Unique icons, embroidery and books! A very informative tour, a knowledgeable guide who spoke interestingly about the life of the indigenous people! I advise you to visit, you will learn a lot!

How to get there? From the central Bus station of Gomel, minibuses and buses every half hour. I recommend a minibus of 3.5 rubles. And you are there in 20 minutes. The museum itself is in the city, 10 minutes walk from the bus stop. Tickets are not expensive. But it's better to take a guided tour, otherwise you won't understand or remember anything. Call and make an appointment in advance, maybe you will be with someone. 3 floors of the museum, from the history of the Old Believers to stunning icons. I was fascinated by homespun towels and suits. And books, one of which is from 1646. Ask more questions to the guides and you will definitely like it. As it turned out, different guides with different approaches tell the truth. There is a toilet in the museum. There are souvenirs and books. By the way, two Old Believers' churches have been preserved in Gomel. But you are unlikely to be allowed in. The museum is excellent, one of the most interesting on the topic of folk traditions.
