For Guides And Tour Agencies
Add More Than a Shop to Your Route – Add a Place with History
Brest Souvenir Factory invites guides, travel agencies, and organizers of tourist groups to cooperate. Our shop-museum is located near the Brest Fortress, so it is easy to include in a tourist route around Brest.
Here, guests can discover the history of Brest Souvenir Factory, see handmade items, learn about traditional painting, and choose a souvenir with a real story behind it.
This is not just a souvenir stop, but a place where a purchase becomes part of discovering Brest, the factory, and local culture.
For Guides, Agencies, and Tourist Groups
We value partners who bring guests to us. Individual cooperation terms are available for guides, travel agencies, and organizers of group visits. Special offers on products and master classes may be arranged for your clients. Details are discussed individually.
What Guests Will See
Factory History
Guests will learn about the history of production since 1953 and discover how Brest Souvenir Factory developed over time.
Handmade Work
In the shop-museum, guests can see hand-painted items, nesting dolls, decorative boxes, and other wooden souvenirs.
Polesie Culture
Guests will learn about hand painting, Ogovo painting, and folk art traditions connected with the region.
The shop-museum is located near one of Brest’s main tourist landmarks, so a visit can easily be combined with a tour of the Brest Fortress, a walk, or a souvenir stop for a group.
Visit Formats
- a short visit to the shop-museum;
- a souvenir stop for a tourist group;

Master Classes for Groups
We hold master classes where guests can create a souvenir with their own hands. This format works well for tourist groups, family trips, student excursions, corporate guests, and small author-led tours.
The classic nesting doll painting master class introduces guests to the story of the first Brest nesting doll, which appeared at Brest Souvenir Factory in 1953.
A separate format is the Ogovo painting master class on a decorative box. Ogovo painting is connected with the tradition of painted chests of Western Polesie and holds an important place in the history of Brest Souvenir Factory. During the master class, participants learn the features of this style and create their own souvenir.
Advance booking is required for groups.
