Yadrin Art and Local History Museum

About museum

The building of the Yadrin Art and Local History Museum is a monument of history and culture of the peoples of the Russian Federation. Previously, an eye and surgical clinic was located here, built in 1911 by the merchant-philanthropist N. Talantsev. The well-known surgeon K. V. Volkov, Hero of Socialist Labour and Doctor of Medical Sciences, worked in this building. On December 23, 2011, the museum was officially opened. On the first floor of the building there is an art gallery housing works by artists from the Volga region, Moscow, St. Petersburg and nearby countries. Also presented are two exhibition halls, "Chief Physician K. V. Volkov's Office" and "Operating Room", with exhibits from the late 19th century. The first floor of the museum features exhibition halls devoted to the ethnography, history and culture of the Yadrin region. The museum continues to be replenished with new exhibits, offering visitors new exhibitions and interesting events.
