Historical and architectural museum-reserve of a small town as a tool for the development of the territory

Abstract

The development model of the Yenisei Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve as a trigger for the development of a small town is considered. In 2019, Yeniseysk celebrated its 400th anniversary. By modern standards, this is a small town, and its population is 17.5 thousand people. Due to the number of historical and cultural monuments, the city is included in the list of historical settlements of federal significance. Yenisei Historical and Architectural MuseumReserve named after A.I. Kytmanov originates from 1883, when the three managers of the museum — A.I. Kytmanov, N.V. Skornyakov and M.O. Marx opened the Public Local Museum. Over the years of its activity, the museum has become the center of urban and provincial culture. Having received the status of a museum-reserve, the Yenisei Museum has become the main character of the city, which preserves the historical, architectural and cultural landscape of the territory. The article discusses in detail the tools with which the museum preserves and will continue to preserve the heritage of Yeniseysk.
