 At what age can you introduce children to the world of beauty and the basics of science? Is this accessible to their understanding? Will they get bored? Such questions are sooner or later asked by parents who are not indifferent to the level of education and upbringing of the child, his development, the formation of interests, taste.
Chukchi boy is cold in pajamas
Unfortunately, most adults underestimate the emotional world of a child. It seems to them that in a huge museum he will get tired and will not remember anything at all. And I partially agree with them - but only that the kid will not look at any exhibit with an adult look - be it an exhibition of dolls or tin soldiers. By evening, he can completely forget about the exhibition.
But this does not mean that for him she passed without a trace. “Do you remember, we went to the museum,” my son, already an adult, remembered not so long ago. - There was a chum in the snow, a fire was burning inside, and a family was sitting around. And I imagined how cold it is for the boy to wash in the shower in the evening and sleep in his pajamas. " To tell the truth, I vaguely remember that trip to the ethnographic museum and the impromptu life of the Chukchi family. It turns out that only a mannequin boy on artificial snow remained forever in children's memory. He evoked compassion in the soul of the child.
This is what makes a trip to museums fascinating: you never know what will awaken curiosity, fear, admiration, sympathy in a child. I remember that in one of the Leningrad museums my son and I looked at a large army of tin soldiers. And in the evening, when I asked what I liked, my son replied: “Where the soldiers are storming the fortress, the enemy is aiming at one of them. I keep thinking: did he kill him or not? " And, I must admit, I didn’t notice it. I did not see the soldiers' faces, I did not understand the intentions. They were toys for me. Surprised only by their abundance. “Some grown-up uncle was sitting, painting this army,” I thought with sympathy. The child was able to revive the toys, to feel like a participant in the events. Falling asleep, he was worried: how are the soldiers fighting there without him?
Years go by, and childhood feelings, it turns out, remain forever in our memories.
Those who were born in Moscow are lucky ...
But many Muscovites don't even know about it. Hundreds of times they ran past the Kremlin, the Novodevichy Convent, the chambers of the Romanov boyars, the Bolshoi Theater - never having been inside.
Residents of Moscow think that all this is for visiting excursionists. And they, they say, can go there any minute. But for many, this minute never comes. A small child is a great excuse to open the doors of a museum. For him and for myself. How many times have I passed the house-museum of the artist Vasnetsov! But one day she opened a heavy gate and was shocked by this wooden house in the center of Moscow: creaky floorboards, huge chests, a stove ...
As it was shocked by the chambers of the Romanovs, this unique building of the XVI century. It was even surprising how deeply the history of the city goes into the earth. Leaves in the truest sense of the word. Five centuries ago, Moscow was much lower. During this time, two to three meters of land or, as archaeologists say, a cultural layer have been layered.
By the way, the Museum of the History of Moscow is also very interesting. There is an opinion among foreigners that it is worth going to Moscow just for the sake of the Historical Museum. But many Muscovites never entered the doors of these museums. “Lazy and incurious people,” as Karamzin wrote about us, do not want to discover other worlds for themselves. "The World of Water", for example, - there is such a museum in Moscow. Or "The World of Stone". The world of ancient man or the world of architecture, painting ...
Admission is free and priceless
The German boy Heinrich Schliemann once came across a book of ancient myths. The myths fascinated him so much that he believed in them.To prove their veracity, the inquisitive researcher traveled to all museums in Europe. And then he began to look for the mythical Troy. And I found it! If your child is "sick" with knights, dinosaurs or dolls, take him to the museum - to the Pushkin, paleontological, to the museum of dolls. Who knows, maybe his path to the profession will begin with a free entrance to the museum. By the way, circles are organized today at many museums. But even if the childhood hobby does not develop into a vocation, visiting museums and clubs will forever remain wonderful memories.
