The State Amalgamated Museum of the RT
Pages: 1 2
The State Amalgamated Museum of the Tatarstan Republic (SAM RT) (The National Museum of RT) is one of the largest museums of the Volga region.The museum was opened on April 5, (according to the old calendar style) 1895. The museum's type is general with all kinds of departments. Since 1981, the State Museum has been the central one of the museum association that includes 74 museums of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The museum takes its origin from the private collection of Andrey Fedorovich Likhachev's (1832 - 1890), the famous archeologist, historian and collector. Another source of the museum's funds are the exhibits of the scientific-industrial exhibition of 1890.
The museum occupies the building of the former Gostinniy Dvor, which is one of the architectural and historical monuments of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tatarstan. The appearance of the building was continually being shaped during the XIX century and was completed by the end of the century. Beginning from 1800 till 1815, the building was being constructed according to the architect F.E. Emelyanov's project. In 1895, the northwestern part of the building was reconstructed (by the architect I. Kolmakov). In 1995 (in commemoration of the museum's 100-anniversary) the northwestern part of the building was restored to its shape of 1895 (by the architect S.A. Kozlova).
The building's value is in its unique vaulted blocking constructions used in the building's design.In 1987, the museum was damaged by fire, and the last 12 years it is closed for visitors. The showrooms of about 1 000 sq. m area function now.
The museum's reconstruction project provides for a new area creation. On this area, exceeding 6 000 sq. m, several different types of museums and showrooms will be sited. Among them are:
The museum of archeology
The museum of Bulgaria of the Volga region and Kazan Khanate (of the period between the VIII century and 1552) history
