The opening of an orchid museum that showcases over 1000 orchids is a unique event for Vologda City. Established with an active support of scientists from Russia, Germany, the Netherlands and Taiwan, these stunning blooms are presented as colorful time-based installations, constantly changing throughout the exhibition’s run. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the exotic assemblage as a whole as well as each orchid as it stands in that moment.
Over centuries Vologda was a link between medieval Europe and Old Russia, a unique ‘door’ to Europe and a centre of international integration and trade.

It was established in 1980 and now includes over 192 cities and towns from European and Russian states.
