One of the steps aimed at preservation of history of engineering science and technology is organization of thematic exhibitions in our museum.
The architectural appearance of Dneproges is unforgettable. It is fascinating and naturally blending with surrounding. This grandiose structure erected at the beginning of the 20-th century continues to attract attention, in fact, there is no structure like this in the world.

On May 1, 1932 the first generator was commissioned, which produced electric power and initiated construction of large industrial complex of Zaporozhye based on electricity produced by Dneproges.

Feedbacks

Оn May1, 2012 I visited a very interesting exhibition, that was opened in Zaporozhye museum-gallery of applied ceramics and art creativity of Ilya and Alexey Burlai. This was already a 5th thematic exhibition named “My Dneproges”, that was dedicated to the fourth anniversary of this museum.
An exhibition was opened by the concert of classic music performed by the students of Zaporozhye musical school No.6. The theme of the exhibition is not accidental. Dneproges today is a symbol of industrial power of Ukraine. For Valentina Ilinichna, the owner of the museum and organizer of this wonderful exhibition it is a great honour, that her mother Maria Hiltmann, German by birth, and her uncle Alexey Burlai, a known artist, both worked at the construction of Dneproges.
Besides, Dneproges due to its compositional completeness and beauty is a unique architectural monument, and also a monument to heroic endevour of people for industrialization of their country. Therefore, this topic appealed and still appeals to artists, writers, poets, and the museum-gallery is not an exception here.
At the exhibition the pictures of professional artists were presented with the image of this structure, as well as numerous pictures drawn by children – participants of picture festival “My Dneproges”, which took place earlier. Apart from that the visitors of the exhibition had the opportunity to communicate with artists, the pictures of which were presented at this exhibition.
This year is the 80th anniversary of Dneproges, and this exhibition is a way to celebrate this event by the museum of applied ceramics, to commemorate the memory of relatives of Valentina Ilinichna, who participated in construction of power-station, and participation of children in this exhibition is of great educational value.
I am very grateful to Valentina to Ilinichna for organizing such an interesting exhibition, exposing a grandeur of this structure in pictures, drawings, photos and discussions.
