Orenburg Down Shawl Gallery

The "Orenburg Down Shawl" Gallery, which opened in May 2012 as a department of the Orenburg Regional Museum of Fine Arts, is dedicated to the local down-knitting craft. The exhibition features openwork gossamers, warm shawls, and down shawls from the second half of the 20th century, including a unique 40-gram exhibit from the Butovsky family from the beginning of the century. Visitors are told about the properties of the down of the Orenburg goat and are shown that a traditional gossamer can pass through a wedding ring. The gallery also hosts thematic exhibitions, guided tours, and meetings with craftsmen.
