 St. Petersburg State MUSEUM of the History of Professional EducationFederal Education AgencyThe St. Petersburg Museum of the History of Professional Education (Vocational Training) records the heroic achievements of the Russian tradition of vocational education. It was created in 1980 for the 40th anniversary of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet « On State Manpower Resources ». The history of vocational training in Russia is closely linked to the history of the country, and each hall of the museum tells one page of this story.The museum forms a base for research into, and education about, the education system at different levels of vocational training. The museum collection consists of documents (in the form of actual objects, written and graphic items) from the time of Peter I until the present day (1701- the opening of the first school of mathematics and navigation in Moscow).
The Museum offers both permanent and temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibition consists of historical materials about the development of vocational training in Russia and St. Petersburg. The temporary exhibitions form additions to the permanent exhibition and represent, as a rule, the exploration in depth of one or more of the museum’s main themes. The basic types of temporary exhibition are: • exhibitions about a particular stage in the history of
vocational training in Russia The museum’s guides regularly give tours of the museum to young people as they complete their education at comprehensive schools, providing full information about technical and trade schools, lyceums and colleges in St. Petersburg and district. The museum regularly holds events which are known as “Professional Decades”. These “decades” are an opportunity for students who are about to choose a profession to speak personally with those who are already in that profession, and also to speak with possible future employers. We believe that this process greatly simplifies the choice of a future profession and improves success in employment. The Museum’s address is: 191119, St. Petersburg, Ulitsa
Marata, 64
