Tanais Archaeological Museum-Reserve
About museum
The Tanais Archaeological Museum-Reserve was opened to visitors in 1961. It is based on the ruins of the ancient city of Tanais, located deep in the nomadic steppe in the 3rd–5th centuries BCE. The city played an important role in establishing contacts between the ancient Greeks and Romans and the local tribes. The museum-reserve conducts scientific research, protects and preserves archaeological sites, creates museum exhibitions and displays, catalogs, documents, and brings archaeological finds into scholarly circulation. The museum's storage facilities hold more than 150,000 museum items. The site offers a variety of services: guided tours, practical workshops, master classes, educational games for children, and programs for people with disabilities. The museum also regularly stages theatrical events, the best known of which is the annual 'Tanais Day' festival held in mid-September.
