The symbol of poetry “Impetuous Pegasus”, Dmitry Klimenko (Russia)
The Museum was officially launched on December 4, 2010. Totally occupying 700 square meters, the museum enjoys 500 square meters of exhibition spaces. It is equipped with refrigerating chambers. To create the very first exposition, a team of sculptors and carvers used 800 tons of ice and 200 tons of snow. Here you can experience how it feels like to be in an ice room that has all details and parts of a real interior – specifically a fireplace, chairs, a mirror, an ice bar with ice dishes and even – an ice bed! Besides, the Ice Museum demonstrated ice sculptures of cartoon characters, aliens, fantastic insects, the Gorgon, Pegasus and a dinosaur.
Meanwhile, the Museum is under construction. Information on the Museum's re-opening to appear on our site — watch the news.
