History of Moscow: The exhibition "Secrets of Moscow dungeons" is presented

On the eve of the 870th anniversary of Moscow in the Moscow Museum on August 15, 2017, the exhibition "Secrets of Moscow Dungeons" opens a new joint project of the museum and Moscow archaeologists with the support of the Department of Culture of Moscow and the Department of Cultural Heritage of Moscow. Within the framework of the exhibition, visitors will be given a unique opportunity to see the archaeological finds discovered during the implementation of the city's "My Street" improvement program.

Over 2 years of work on Lubyanka and Novaya Ploshchad, Prechistenka, Sretenka, on the Boulevard Ring and in other places in Moscow, more than 10,000 unique artifacts were found. Only on 100 square meters of the Exchange Square this summer more than half a thousand items have been extracted, starting from the XII century. According to archaeologists, the discoveries made during "My Street" have not been for more than 60 years. The most interesting finds will be presented at an exhibition in the Museum of Moscow.

For the first time, the public will be shown the objects that they found next to the underground secret room at the base of the Kitaygorod Wall opposite the Church of St. John the Evangelist at Vyaz. Also visitors will see unusual treasures, copper coins, ceramic products and objects of everyday life of Muscovites of different time.
