The solemn ceremony of opening of the residence of Father Frost was held in the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin on December 15. As the employees of the Nizhny Novgorod State Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve note, the best artists and decorators have worked on the creation of the residence in Zachatskaya Tower of the Kremlin for several months. It is no coincidence that the tower was chosen a residence: it stands near the monument to Peter I who issued a decree on celebrating New Year on January, 1 about 300 years ago. “I am very happy that Father Frost now has his own apartments in the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, because the Kremlin is the heart of the city” - the Director of the Nizhny Novgorod State Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve Veniamin Arkhangelsky told. “The fairy-tale residence is located in Zachatskaya Tower of the Kremlin which has recently been restored, which is also very symbolic.” The residence of Father Frost is aimed at today’s children, who are hard to surprise. The chamber of Snow Maiden, the lair of evil spirits and the residence of Father Frost are located on the three floors of the tower. A lot of miracles have been prepared for young visitors: during the presentation the children will see a bright laser show, look into the magic mirror and surely conquer the virtual Baba Yaga. Children have the opportunity not only to make a wish for the New Year, but also to write a letter to Father Frost.
