МИРГОРОДСЬКИЙ ДЕРЖАВНИЙ КЕРАМIЧНИЙ ТЕХНIКУМ IМ. М.В.ГОГОЛЯ

The technical school (now college) was founded in 1896 as an art-industrial school. The main building is designed in the French Renaissance style. There is no ceramics museum as such, but there is a museum exposition in seven halls. The collection was based on 20 copies of famous sculptures by Falcone, Adamson, Pimenov and other masters. They were supplemented by products from China, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Copenhagen porcelain, Ukrainian faience, Meissen's works, as well as products of domestic enterprises. Over time, samples of Ukrainian pottery, embroidery and weaving were added to the exposition. The works of college graduates are also exhibited here. One of the teachers was ordered to conduct excursions. They are held on Thursdays or by agreement with organized groups. In summer there are no excursions at all - vacations. We were in June, went to college for exploration, got a phone number, and called each other. We are fortunate enough to join the group. The ticket is 20 UAH, and the pleasure is ten times more. The most luxurious is the unique majolica iconostasis (1902). The story is like this. In 1900, the school of art and industry made a 30 m long majolica iconostasis for the Russian embassy church in Buenos Aires. It was magnificent, and the church community of the Mirgorod Holy Dormition Cathedral ordered a copy of the iconostasis for their church. In 1902, a unique iconostasis was installed and became the decoration of the cathedral. In Soviet times, the cathedral was closed, the iconostasis was dismantled, some of its parts were taken over by the college. Now he is a true decoration of the museum exposition. I can say about the students' works - wonderful works, unique works, one better than the other. Porcelain, faience, majolica, interesting subjects, magnificent embodiment. Watching is not enough.

Very very good, calm, quiet, clean, easy to breathe. A great place to forget about problems

I really wanted to get to the #Museum of Ceramics, but! We were in Fri - in the museum a shortened day. I realized that I did not get it. here they taught masters for the manufacture of pottery, terracotta, majolica, porcelain and earthenware. There are 7 rooms in the museum, 20 famous sculptures of Falcone, Adamson, Pimenov, etc., presented at the request of Nicholas II (now they are copies) are presented. It houses a unique majolica iconostasis that was in the Holy Dormition Cathedral (1902, an exact copy, the original is in Argentina.) The museum building is also attractive, since it was built in the style of the French Renaissance. It is obvious that the tours are held on Thurs, after lunch.

good college

Ceramic paradise! Incredible!
