Angarsk City Museum

About museum

The MBUK (Municipal Budgetary Cultural Institution) of the city of Angarsk "City Museum" comprises three divisions: the Clock Museum, the Mineral Museum and the Exhibition Hall. The Clock Museum was opened in 1969 and was established on the basis of the private collection of P. V. Kurdyukov, which he assembled over more than half a century. In 1995 the Exhibition Hall was opened as a branch of the Angarsk City Museum. Twelve or more exhibitions are held there each year. In the rare intervals between them, fragments of the museum's art collection are displayed from storage. The art collection was created in 1969 after the museum received more than 500 works of painting, graphic art and sculpture by Soviet artists of the 1950s–early 1960s. The creators of these works lived and worked in various regions of the USSR. Thus, the MBUK of the city of Angarsk "City Museum" is not only a place for the study of horology and mineralogy, but also presents visitors with the art and culture of past years.
