The stationary exhibition "A walk along Nizhne-Pokrovskaya" - a unique exhibition created in 1998 based on "city guide Polotsk", released in 1910, when the relics of St. Euphrosyne of Polotsk went back to his hometown of Kiev. This is the first monographic exhibition on the history of one street.
The exhibition is open in the architectural monument of the XVII century "House of Peter I». The building was built in 1692 in Baroque style. In this house lived the great Russian autocrat during the Northern War.
Later the building was repeatedly repaired and rebuilt. During the Great Patriotic War, House of Peter I suffered a lot, but was rebuilt after the war.
The street was named Lower Intercession in 1781 after the end of the street was built Pokrovsky temple. Temple repeatedly burned polovchane attempted to restore it, however, the church managed to recover only in our time.
The exhibition introduces visitors to the history of the streets of Lower Intercession. What there were offices, shops which people lived, what they did looked like to wear, what they ate and drank as treated, what to buy and how to meet the visiting guests.
