Achinsk Local History Museum named after D. S. Kargapolov
About museum
In the historic part of the city of Achinsk is the estate of Achinsk merchant M. M. Mokrousov, which now houses the Achinsk Local History Museum. In the two-story mansion you can see tiled stoves, ceiling stucco, and metal interior shutters. You can also listen to the popular song "Matyushka-Golubushka" on a German polyphone. The museum offers an excursion route to Aydashinskaya Cave, a Neolithic archaeological site, and the excavation site of the Achinsk Paleolithic settlement. A museum visitor can purchase a souvenir — a piece of nepheline, which, according to medieval scholars, brings success to its owner. Visit the museum and have an unforgettable experience!
