On 14 April 2022, an exhibition “History of one exhibit. Cast-iron washstand” opened in the exhibition area of the Museum of Bulgarian Civilization. Visitors saw an item from the funds of Bolgar Museum-Reserve – a washstand and received historical information about how washstands appeared in Russia. A washstand is a vessel with water intended for washing hands. There are different variations of it – hand or hanging from a beam. Washing face and hands in the morning, washing hands before meals is of ancient origin. The exhibition also presented embroidered towels of XIX century. The students of Bolgar Children’s Art School and guests from Ulyanovsk were invited to the opening of the exhibition.
