Apsheronsky Local History Museum

About museum

The history of the Apsheronsk museum begins in the late 1960s, when it experienced dynamic development until the early 1990s. The collections were transferred to the district Cossack society and distributed among four halls of the former ataman administration. Only in 2003 was the museum provided with a rebuilt building, which helped establish the museum. At present the museum's collection includes more than 3,500 authentic exhibits of history, culture, fine arts, archaeology, ethnography, military subjects, paleontology, the history of Cossack formation and settlers' daily life, as well as the history of the region's development. Special attention is paid to the period of the Great Patriotic War, which involved active hostilities on the territory of the region. The museum has great potential for development related to new technologies and an influx of tourists to the region.
