New Museum Souvenir Project, 2012

On one occasion, the artist Shaburov was asked to run a large educational project called «New Museum Souvenir». Train directors of 12 Russian museums to organize museum stores and make museum souvenirs. That, of course, is a problem. To come up with new souvenirs, you need new interpretations of museum collections. To understand that in museum collections, the most interesting, who are heroes and who are antiheroes, requires a clear understanding of Russian history. And with that shut-off on the state level. However, during the seminars, methods and souvenir lines were devised for museums in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Jaroslavl, Kolomna, Egorievsk, Vyks, Vladivostok, Nadidki and other cities. And the training presentations were combined into this book.
