The museum “700 Years — Landskrona, Nevskoye Ustye, Nyenskans”
The museum “700 Years — Landskrona, Nevskoye Ustye, Nyenskans” is among
the youngest and dynamically developing museums of St. Petersburg.
Museum collections are sure not to be compared with ones of the leading
city museums. However, its exhibits are proud of their unique nature -
the Museum offers historical material dated pre-Petersburg periods in
the past of Nevsky land.
The Museum exhibits help to break
a well-known stereotype: the place where the young capital of the
Russian empire appeared had been desert and desolate. So, our visitors
have got an access to the 400 year pre-Petersburg history of the Neva
river and the Okhta source. The historical documents, maps, materials of
archeological digs in the territory of the present Petrozavod are at
the heart of the Museum.
Our Museum was founded at the end
of May, 2003 during the celebration of the 300-year anniversary of St.
Petersburg thanks to the holding Okhta Group, District-700 administration and group of companies MediaProm.
The museum “700 Years — Landskrona, Nevskoye Ustye, Nyenskans” is a
historical-archeological museum. Archeological finds of the early
90ths of the 20th century during the investigation of the Okhta river,
as well as historical documents, plans and maps dated XVII—XVII
centuries are in the basis of the Museum collections.
They
prove the existence of the Russian and Sweden settlements and
fortresses in prinevsky territories, exactly, in the source of the Okhta
river. Besides, the Museum has a reproduction of a part of the
archeological excavation together with diaram-reconstruction of the
Sweden fortress Nyenskans and town Nyen. The exhibitions display the
reconstructed armament of the Russian and Sweden soldiers of the period
when Lanskrona was seized.
We are convinced that people can
understand their present and their past much better when they are aware
of their history, having good understanding of their past.
With this objective we are interested in making the Museum more popular
- we are conducting thematic exhibitions, lectures, seminars. As well,
the Museum hosts the Children Historical Club.
To a wide
extent, the Museum is to promote social heritage of Russia, create
favourable climate for intellectual development of the society,
strengthen international cultural cooperation due to relations with
experts and companies from the Baltic countries.
 The
museum “700 Years — Landskrona, Nevskoye Ustye, Nyenskans” is located
at: 2, Krasnogvardeiskaya sq. The choice of place made initiators found a
