It all started with an intriguing title: “Shelter of a butching goat” (St. Petersburg, Zagorodny Avenue, 6). "Goat" theme is a red thread in the interior of both rooms. Even in the wardrobe, over which the Second-Hand sign proudly flutters, instead of the usual checks, visitors give out small clay goats to visitors. And two meters from the wardrobe there is a true treasure - a wooden goat, assembled from a variety of gears, a samovar, flasks of flour, a bucket of beans, a pipeline (imitating a goat's digestive system) and God knows from what else. The central place in the first hall (decided in the form of a mill) is occupied by table-stones. Around him, like bags of grain, is a flock of chairs in picturesque covers. A series of wooden tables lined up along the window illuminate the original lamps resembling goat udder. But this topic is not exhausted. In the second hall, it unexpectedly appears in the form of "The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids" - yes, yes, that very fairy tale. The text of this sad story is fully reproduced on the walls, and if someone has forgotten, then moving from table to table, can restore it to memory. Another highlight of the interior is the hearth, which miraculously occurs in a meter thick wall dividing the halls. In fact, it separates not two rooms, but two houses (as a matter of fact, there are two main walls here). And now with long winter, short spring, and very tiny summer evenings here you can always sit by a live fire.
