The Northern Maritime Museum of the city of Arkhangelsk was opened in 1990. The museum's exhibits tell about the history of navigation and shipbuilding in the North of Russia from the 12th to the 20th century, tell about the study and development of the Arctic, the flora and fauna of the northern seas. In front of the museum, you can see a small collection of anchors and artillery pieces of the 19th-20th centuries.

 

 

The exhibition space "Millenniums of Northern Navigation" is stylized as a "sailing ship", where decorative structures are made in the form of various fragments of ship drawings, details of rigging, elements of the internal and external structure of the vessel

Showcases made of transparent and frosted glass with backlight, where the museum exhibits are located, should give birth
in the imagination of visitors images of huge icebergs in the arctic desert

The sound of the sea and the cries of seagulls are another touch that helps to convey the harsh and beautiful atmosphere
Arctic sailing.

 

The design project was carried out by the Honored Artist of Russia Yevgeny Bogdanov, a famous Moscow designer of museum expositions and exhibitions. The emphasis is placed on the fundamental role of Arkhangelsk - the first international seaport of Russia, the cradle of domestic state and private shipbuilding, a center for the study, development and practical use of the Arctic resources.

The museum exposition is conventionally divided into two thematic parts: "The era of the sailing fleet" (XI - mid-XIX century) and "The era of ships with metal hulls" (late XIX - XX centuries). Here, along with genuine historical monuments (archival documents, rare books, maps, Pomor gear, etc.), various auxiliary materials are presented - models of ships and ships, models of ship equipment, various ship devices and instruments.
