It's an amazing museum, probably one of the best in the country. Towels, ancient books, stamped salaries of icons, the icons themselves. I especially liked the interior decoration and the overall concept. Keep in mind that the place is popular and it's better to book a guide in advance, because it's not the same without him. If you will be in Gomel or visiting the Republic of Belarus from Bryansk, then be sure to visit.

A very interesting museum! Inside there is a unique collection of icons, handwritten books and antique utensils, you can find out how the Vetkov Old Believers lived, how they weaved, prayed and led a way of life) The museum has an audio guide, but if possible, be sure to book a live tour.
