The Izhora are the indigenous Finno-Ugric people of the Leningrad Region, who have been living on the southern coast of the Gulf of Finland since ancient times. You can learn about the culture and traditions of the Izhora people in the Izhora Museum in the village of Vistino, Kingisepp District, Leningrad Region.
The Izhora Museum collection contains over a thousand of items of the Izhora cultural heritage. Most of the collection is dedicated to the main occupations of the Izhora people - fishing and agriculture. An important part of the museum's collection is made up of samples of pottery, which was developed in the village of Bolshoye Stremleniye.
A rich photo archive gives a clear and complete picture of the traditional aspects of life in Izhora villages in the XX century.
The jewels of the museum's collection are festive and everyday Izhora dresses of the 20th century.
