E.ON IBU World Cup Biathlon

The exposition “Mythological Time” represents the traditional culture of Ob-Ugric people and Priob nature in the context of mythology.

The exhibition does not have the beginning or the end; it is possible to pass it from left to right and vice versa.

This reflects the very essence of mythological time, which, in contrast to the historical time, in cyclic – it does not go away, but returns and gets renewed.

The exhibition consists of seven compositions-steps:

“The Cradle” – the creation of the world and the human. Images of the Goddess of the Earth- motherhood and the cradle that is descending from the Heavenly House to earth on a golden chain.

“The Game” – the path from the childhood play to the adult ritual.

Male and female symbols, maze of games and puzzles.

“Seasons” – a dialogue of paintings “Summer” and “Winter.”

The life cycle of the world in the traditional calendar – “living time”.

“Sanctuary” – pantheon of gods in the area of ​​taiga Priob.

The reconstruction of the shrines and images of Ugric deities.

“Sky Rider” – the image of the god and culture hero Mirsusne-khum that rides around the world on a winged horse.

“Sharp-clawed old man” – “Bear World” from the den to “dance house”, in which the bearish merrymaking is held.

“Shaman” – the space of the shamanic world view: “A dark tent” surrounded by pictures of “Musical Cape” and “Death cap Woman” goddess Vut Imi.

Each of the seven halls has its own design, dictated by the myths characteristics.

Each section of the exhibition is “hidden” in a relatively closed space and draws a scenario of a myth, but at the same time opens the way to the next composition.

Have a nice journey!
