The Outhouse

   This is the home of the Kolomna pastila’s lady of the house. Her drawing room is governed by order and tranquility, broken only by the canary’s trills and the old clock’s chimes. Inviting guests in for a cup of tea, she offers a variety of pastila and holds leisurely conversations about times gone by. You will hear about how people passed the time in the Kolomna trading quarter during the era of Ivan the Terrible; about the freemasons, who met secretly in the Suranovs’ drawing room; about Kolomna’s ancient orchards and Orthodox Bishop Nikita’s marvellous apples; about the treasure found in an antique sideboard; about the Museum’s famous neighbours – Russian writers Ivan Lazhechnikov and Boris Pilnyak; and, of course, about the Kolomna pastila itself.

Programmes
