Alexandrovsky Local History Museum

О музее

The museum was opened on October 7, 1964. In 1968 local Komsomol members decided to add another museum dedicated to the history of the district Komsomol organization. In 1979, at the initiative of the Institute of Archaeology of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which had been working in the Alexandrovsky district for five years, the two museums were merged and a branch of the Stavropol State Local History Museum named after G. K. Prave was created. The museum has accumulated archaeological, numismatic, ethnographic and documentary materials of cultural and historical value. Currently the museum holds about 13,000 items in its main collection. In addition, it contains a unique collection of rushnyky (embroidered ritual towels), merchant trade equipment, tableware, church utensils, numismatics and archaeological items that allow one to imagine the lives of ancestors. Today the museum is a legal entity and has the status of a state institution.
