The exhibition “Karelia. History in Stone” at the National Library of the Republic of Karelia will present a variety of exhibits: solidified lava, fragments of the ancient sea bed, hematite ore specimens, etc. Through these exhibits visitors will be able to connect to the history of the Earth and learn what Karelia looked like billions of years ago: how many volcanoes there were around the present-day Petrozavodsk, what lake was formed by meteorite impact, where the traces of an ancient sea beach in the Klyuchevaya district come from, and a lot more.
During April, visitors will be offered lectures and master classes: to examine minerals under a microscope, to learn how stones differ from each other, and to trace their path from a body of rock to a piece of interior design.
