According to the rules of the project, in the future the duet will be disbanded, Sergey and Ksenia will have to participate in the trials independently. But this doesn’t bother the guys: students of TSPU want to go this way in different teams. “I would like to join Miguel’s team. He inspires me as a person and I like what he does! Undoubtedly, other mentors attract me, but I feel that I will have contact with Miguel”, - Sergey shares his thoughts. “And I would prefer Yegor, I really like his view on the choreography and on the project itself”, - said Ksenia.

Our participants were lavish in advice to colleagues who have yet to go through the casting: “You need something original, interesting and extravagant. Just a cool number is not enough in my opinion. We need a strong and confident personality, core, charisma! And then, perhaps, everything will be successful", - Sergey recommended.

“We gave the children the opportunity to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, - says Gleb Balabaev. - We are changing the ‘Legacy of the Times’ for the second year. This time, the program got additional title ‘String of History’ inspired by the book with the same title by L.N. Gumilyov. During the work "We invited our students to take part in a series of workshops, participate in applied and role-playing games, show themselves in the trials and also listen to the performance of a folk group."

Senior staff scientist Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Timofeeva talked with students, as with future colleagues. During the tour she told them about the methods of creating an exposition, organizing an exhibition space, the principles of the general concept of museum exhibitions and much more. The guys were surprised when they heard that the museum is located in the former mansion of the gold miner I.D. Astashev (XIX century). The building has great architectural and artistic value: the mansion retains the layout typical for the 19th century, the relief of walls, the furniture remaining from the time the monument was built, a concert hall where the organ is installed.

Each location of the museum has its own theme, which is associated with the history and / or nature of the Tomsk region. The essence and idea of ​​the exhibitions are perfectly conveyed by the genuine artifacts gathered together, reconstructions, artworks, collections of objects and modern technical equipment.

“If we were asked what a museum is, we would say that this is a place where you can meet with the past, - students share their emotions. - The museum preserves things that were long before our appearance, what remains of the past and nowadays it has great historical and cultural value. Therefore, before the excursion to the museum there is a feeling of an upcoming meeting with something unusual and special"
