The museum is located in the house of the merchant Wafa Bigaev, an architectural monument of the early 19th century [1] at Kazan, Paris Commune, 18.
Excursions in the museum cover periods from Volga Bulgaria to the present day, but special attention is paid to the period of the late XIX - early XX centuries, which is relatively well described by contemporaries, especially the Tatar scholar-encyclopedist Kayum Nasyri .
The museum recreates the life of a Tatar wealthy home from the end of the 19th — beginning of the 20th centuries. Life was recreated on the basis of authentic photographs of the interiors of Tatar houses in Kazan and Zakazanie using samples of preserved household items, home decoration, clothing, and tools of the time. A distinctive feature of this museum is that almost everything can be touched and tried in action.
The museum includes a museum shop where you can try and buy chak-chak , baursak and another XIX century dish, restored according to an old recipe.
