  • Barrel Museum
Stand : F3301
Russia, Northwest region

Vologda is an extremely forested area and almost 2/3 of its area is forested. That is, the conditions for the manufacture of a variety of wooden products are very, very favorable. The available designs and forms of cooperage (cooperage) utensils due to their simplicity, rationality and practicality turned out to be surprisingly resilient and easily reproducible. At the same time the famous Vologda butter that used to be transported only in kegs is produced in the Vologda region. Such kegs were also produced only here - at the plywood factory of stamped kegs.
