The capital of Karelia has prepared such interesting places in Petrozavodsk as the sculpture "Wave of Friendship", the Cathedral of the Exaltation of the Cross, Onega embankment and others for the inspection and visiting of travelers.
Unusual sights of Petrozavodsk
“Sleeping Beauty”: this unusual monument, in the opinion of its creator, at the same time personifies a Karelian woman and Karelian natural resources. Anyone walking along the embankment will be able to capture this sculptural composition in photographs.
Fountain "Molecule": in its shape it resembles a Fullerene molecule (it is a molecular compound found in shungite rocks - water from the "Marcial Waters" spring passes through them).
What interesting places to visit in Petrozavodsk?
Judging by the positive reviews, guests of the capital of Karelia will be interested in visiting the Polar Odyssey Museum (the route to the museum is shown on the website www.polar-odyssey.org). Its guests are offered to look at the working copies of wooden sailing ships and ships-generals, which once went on long-distance expeditions. In addition, those who wish are shown a video about the extraordinary expeditions and travels of the Polar Odysseus club, and are also offered to take part in the “sea wolf” master class (a training lesson on knitting of sea knots awaits visitors) and tea drinking in the beautiful interior of the Maritime Museum (the last two services are provided to organized groups upon prior request).
Do not ignore the art gallery "Doll House". Among the various exhibitions (author's dolls, floristry, tapestries, painting), visitors are most interested in the exhibition "Spirits of Karelia or Kizhi brownies" with kikimors, brownies, water spirits and other "unclean" forces.
Visitors to the center of traditional crafts of Karelia will be able to attend all kinds of master classes (beading and birch bark weaving, felt felting, patchwork sewing, making traditional dolls). Classes are held for everyone over 6 years old. And everyone can also get souvenirs from Karelian craftsmen.
