- How traditional drinks differed from modern adaptations;
- Which recipes were used more often at what time of the year;

The meeting of the Tea Club will take place on June 10 at Zoom, starting at 19.00. We invite everyone on condition of previous registration.
Ocean Life: an online lecture on World Oceans
Day On June 8, the world celebrates World Oceans Day.
«It is quite inappropriate to call this planet Earth, when it is obvious that it is the Ocean», wrote Arthur Clarke, an English writer, scientist and inventor.
The oceans cover 3/4 of the Earth’s surface, contain 97% of water reserves, and cover 99% of the planet’s surface area. The oceans are the world’s largest source of protein, with the lives of about 3 billion people completely dependent on the oceans. The theme of the Day in 2021 is «Ocean: life and livelihoods».
Exactly on June 8 at 19:00 we will talk about the Southern Ocean and its inhabitants. Biologist Julia Ivanchykova, a graduate student of the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, will tell about her participation in the sea part of the 25th Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition.
We will find out:
- Whether it is always cold in Antarctica;
- Who is stronger – an albatross or a petrel;
- What produces the only Ukrainian industrial fishing vessel in the Southern Ocean and what desperate biologists are researching there;
- How to go on an expedition for 6 weeks, and return in 4 months;
- Whether it is possible to exist in the 21st century without access to Instagram and YouTube;
- How to distinguish a humpback whale from a fin whale;
- How to survive among endless icebergs and cold waves.
And also Julia will answer your questions. We invite you to a lecture on conditions of pre-registration.
The magical art of symbolism: a lecture by the MuzClass project
The cult of beauty, refined, fragile, ephemeral… But the beauty of the unreal, the visions of the subconscious. Symbolism fully appeals to images of other dimensions, a mysterious dream.
Verlaine and Mallarmé, Moreau and Vrubel, Faure and Scriabin – artists who used symbols, allegories, hints, which gave the works mystery.
Let’s touch on the aesthetics of silence, secrecy, non-negotiation, listening to the incomprehensible at the meeting in MuzKlas on 27th of May at 19:00 on the Zoom platform on conditions of prior registration.

Taphonologist, science fiction writer, idealist: online lecture of the project «Fantastic course»
The next meeting of the Fantastic Course will take place on the 25th of May at 19:00. Hosts Ievhenia Breznytska and Iryna Filonenko will tell about the life and work of I. Yefremov.
An outstanding paleontologist and science fiction writer Ivan Antonovych Yefremov – a star of the first magnitude in science fiction, abandoned the tendency to describe interplanetary wars and the destruction of civilizations. He dreamed of a happy bright future for mankind, in which the main driver of progress will not be the perfection of technology, but human evolution.
His works were called «communist utopia». In addition to short stories and novels, Ivan Yefremov wrote only 4 major novels: «Andromeda Nebula», «Razor Blade», «Bull Hour» and «Thais of Athens», but each of them became an event. It has become, as they now say, «cult» for several generations of readers.
Adventures of thought – this is how Yefremov formulated his writing credo. He studied the past as a scientist, as a science fiction writer
dreamed of the future and was always convinced that science leads to emptiness, if there are not philosophy and humanity behind it.
The lecture will take place in Zoom on conditions of prior registration.
A link to the conference will be sent to your email address on the day of the lecture.
