Akshuat Local History Museum named after V.N. Polivanov

О музее

In 1982 the Local History Museum of the village of Akshuat was opened, located in the old school. In 1988 the museum was moved to a new building, and in 2010 an updated exhibition was created in a workshop. In 2012 the museum exhibition was closed and replaced by a preschool group. In 2016 the museum obtained non-governmental status and was relocated to the building of the Akshuat Forestry Department. On that floor there are exhibition spaces (108.7 sq. m) and a basket-weaving workshop. The museum's collections comprise 1,500 storage units and include materials from the family of landowner V. N. Polivanov, negatives from the 1950s–1970s by Akshuat photographer A. F. Koblov, personal belongings of Akshuat residents, ethnographic collections, and items of local folk craft.
