The exhibition halls of the historical museum exhibit the exhibition “Light in our home”, which presents lighting devices of the 19th-20th centuries from the funds of the Reserve.

The oldest items of the exhibition are household lamps. They were hung near icons, lit during prayers. They are made of metal and glass. They were in the everyday life of the residents of the city of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, the villages of Kvitky, Vilkhivchyk.

The exhibition features trench candles from the Second World War and the Russian-Ukrainian wars. These are shell casings with wicks and tin cans filled with paraffin.

The exhibition presents kerosene lamps of various designs: table, wall, windproof “bat” lamps. They have long been part of everyday life, starting from 1853. Some modifications of the lamps are used to this day.

There are also electric lamps and night lamps from the 1960s and 1970s.

Of particular interest to visitors was the miner’s gasoline lamp or Wolf lamp – an improved explosion-proof lamp invented in the 19th century, with a protective metal mesh that cooled the flame and prevented methane gas explosions in the mine. It became a kind of breakthrough in the evolution of miner’s lamps. It has a reliable lock that could only be opened with a ten-kilogram magnet. The lamp sample at the exhibition is from the 1930s and 1940s. It was on the farm of Vira Plakha from the village of Kvitky.

The authors of the exhibition are the head of the educational work sector, Galina Davydenko, and the senior researcher of the funds sector, Olena Raykova.
