 An open air museum will appear in Krasnoyarsk in the park zone on Tatyshev Island in central Krasnoyarsk. As the burg city project author and assistant professor of Siberian Federal University Lyudmila Gaykova said, "Krasnoyarsk Burg", the project of a historical and architectural and ethnographic complex, is ready for implementation.
At present authors of the project are awaiting the allotment of land and for the project to be signed by Krasnoyarsk mayor. As soon as the city allots the land, financing tools will be launched, and the idea will be put into practice, Gaykova assured. "The project was worked out by city intelligentsia, " she said. "Those are teachers of Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical University, scientists of the Regional Museum. I have collected the richest materials which has never been published before. We plan to create a complex which will consist of the burg itself, a wooden architecture museum, the Yenisei Region peoples zone, houses, yard buildings, and craft museums. Such complexes are situated in the suburban area in other towns. In this respect Krasnoyarsk will be the only place where a zone like that will be located in the city center."
The primary idea was to open the unique ethnographic open air museum by 380th anniversary of Krasnoyarsk. In autumn 2007 the authors of the project hoped to present five towers and the main walls of the burg by the city's jubilee. Now the project authors plan to erect at least one tower and begin to build the walls and hold a presentation of the burg for Krasnoyarsk citizens. The project is quite expensive, the organizers report. It was estimated as $8 million a year and a half ago, when the search for the investor began. At present the cost of the project reaches $14-20 million. Nevertheless, Lyudmila Gaykova said, businessmen ready to invest their money to "Krasnoyarsk Burg" and confident of making profit of it have already been found.
The information that the creation of such a project is being discussed was confirmed in the mayor's office. Negotiations with investors are being carried out, the press service reported.
