Textile Museum and university visits

You cannot stay in Ivanova, the city of textile, without visiting the Textile Museum. We received a detailed tour with good help from some talented English students. We learnt more about the textile production in the region and the block printing tradition that was indeed a difficult handicraft. The museum itself was a very special building. It used to belong to one of the textile magnates in Ivanova and had some interesting architecture.


We also met some students in one of the universities and we had some time for discussing different questions, for example our impressions of Russia, the Swedish school system and our traditions.


After a farewell dinner it was time to go the train station. Now we are heading for St Petersburg, our last stop before returning to Sweden.

Best Regards
