Immersion in the World of Circus: The Durov Dynasty Tour at the Grandfather Durov's Corner Theatre

A fascinating excursion to the Durov Dynasty Museum is taking place in the historical theater "Grandfather Durov's Corner", which invites visitors to immerse themselves in the world of the famous circus art. Within 30 minutes, children and adults will be able to discover amazing facts about the life and work of Vladimir Leonidovich Durov.

The excursion begins in the foyer of the museum, where guests are greeted by an actor in the image of Grandfather Durov along with a cat, a dog and a goat. Then the group goes to Vladimir Leonidovich's personal office, where he spent a lot of time working on his projects. Here visitors will learn about his training methods and unique approach to animals.

Then the excursion continues in the Creative Hall, where Durov's former artists are presented: a large anteater, a leopard, a sea lion and other animals with which the master worked. Of particular interest is the dog-mathematician Zapyatka, who became the favorite of Grandfather Durov.

The next hall is dedicated to the exhibition of the act "Friendly Lunch", where animals that are usually incompatible in nature are seated at the same table. No less interesting is the famous Durov railway - a real steam locomotive made at the Putilov factory. The culmination of the excursion is a five-minute show "Mouse Railway" with live mice, invented more than a century ago.
