Мезин - маленьке, але дуже мальовниче село на високому березі річки Десна в 20 кілометрах від траси Чернігів - Новгород-Сіверський.

Відоме з XVI сторіччя, проте люди тут жили з найдавніших часів.

В 1908 році український вчений Федір Вовк виявив велику стоянку первісних людей епохи пізнього палеоліту. Археолологічні знахідки Мезинської стоянки поповнили багато музеїв країни. В 1965 році на місці розкопу створено музей, в якому представлено багато знахідок.

Збереглася дерев'яна будівля школи.

Також Мезин є центром Мезинського національного парку, створеного в 2006 році для охорони природи тутешніх покритих лісом деснянських висот, прозваних "Мезинською Швейцарією".

Archaeological Research Museum named after Vasyl Kurylenko

Museum / gallery

A large settlement of ancient people of the Late Paleolithic era was discovered near the village of Mezyn by Fedir Vovk, a Ukrainian scientist and associate professor of the St. Petersburg University in 1908.

Archaeologists have excavated dwellings made of mammoth bones covered with bison hides. The Mezyn settlement lot gained worldwide fame thanks to unique finds, among which were rare examples of ancient art: figures of bird women made of mammoth tusk and decorated with carved ornaments, as well as iconic bracelets. Later, the oldest musical instruments and the lunar calendar were found.

Part of the archaeological materials is stored in the Mezyn Archaeological Museum, created in 1965 on the initiative of the local historian Vasyl Kurylenko.

The museum is located on the site of an archaeological excavation in a wooden house of the 18th century.
