Take, for example, the Palace of Children and Youth Creativity. Earlier this building housed "October" cinema, for 560 seats. The facility was open in 1958. However due to historical events and transformations in the cultural sphere of Vitebsk in the early 1990s "October" was closed. Some time later, after all it was decided to return the building to Vitebsk, not as a cinema, but the Palace of Children and Youth Creativity. After a major reconstruction the city streets were decorated by an upgraded building, which not only harmoniously complemented the surrounding landscape, but also became one of the modern sights of Vitebsk. Columns, distant luxury and mirrored facade creates an incredible illusion of a surprising combination of the two eras. In the result of the reconstruction the building has got an extraordinary lightness, creating a sense of celebration and miracles. No wonder: here capable children`s hands create magic weaving it into their paintings and crafts. Agree, this is also the history of Vitebsk.
