Lomonosovo village, where the great Russian scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov was born, got its name at 1911. In the time of Lomonosov there were two villages, placed near by each other. They were called Myshaninskaya and Denisovka. Because of this fact there is a confusion, which village was the motherland of the scientist. At the middle of XVIII century Dmitrievsky temple was built there, instead of burnt wooden church. The temple is standing still, inactive, it is an object of cultural heritage. In addition to it, there are some more places of interest in the village.
First of all, there is Lomonosov monument, which was created by Kozlovsky in 1958. Some years before it the same monument had been installed in front of the Moscow University building. The pedestal of the sculpture placed on Lomonosov's motherland is decorated with karel quartzite, the height is 4,5 m (2,85 m without the pedestal). The monument is standing in front of an old school building, which is now empty.
Not far from the sculpture there is bone-carving art school, which is only one in Russia. It is named after Butorin and it's number is 27. The aim of the school is to save the art of bone carving, which is unique northern handicraft.
The main attraction of the village is the historical and memorial Lomonosov museum, which was opened in 1940. There are 6 halls in it, which themes are: "The North is Lomonosov's motherland", "The way to science", "Lomonosov is a scientist, a poet, an educator", "In memory of Lomonosov", "In memory of Shubin the sculptor", "Lomonosov studies" (literature about Lomonosov, and some mobile exhibitions). The museum is standing on the place of the Lomonosovs' family house. In 1871 the building of village school was built there, in 1872 the folk theatre was placed there, in 1892 it became a school again, in 1896 a library took place there, in 1930s it turned into bone-carving school. From 2000 till 2009 it has been rebuilt and reformed for a historical museum.
