About museum

The Archaeological Museum-Reserve 'Tanais' 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 BC. 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, and catalogs, describes and brings archaeological finds into scientific circulation. The museum's depositories hold more than 150,000 museum items. Various services are offered here: guided tours, practicums, master classes, educational games for children, and programs for people with disabilities. Theatrical events are also regularly held, the most famous of which is the annual 'Day of Tanais' festival, held in mid-September.
