In the History Museum of Karazin University, an excursion for Kharkiv residents titled "Journey to the Maya World: Yuri Knorozov - Genius from Kharkiv Region" took place, organized as part of the "Intellectual Travels Initiative" project in collaboration with the Kharkiv Regional Tourist Information Center.
The museum's exhibition immersed visitors in the atmosphere of the university's past, and the paths of our alma mater's rich and captivating history were guided by the junior research fellow of the university's history museum, Anastasiia Shapovalova. Visitors were particularly intrigued by the museum's unique exhibit - a fully wooden microscope.
Visitors learned about the traditions of awarding the title of Honorary Doctor, the Higher Women's Courses, which served as a starting point for women to obtain higher education, and about the inventions of devices by students and professors of the university.
