About museum

\r\nOn April 3, 1998 a decree was adopted to open the Yarsky Historical and Local Lore Museum with the aim of preserving the people's cultural potential and creating conditions for its development in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Yar Station and the 60th anniversary of the settlement of Yar. The museum features the exhibition "History of Yar Station. Transport Network", which presents the history of railway development in the Udmurt Republic. Also on display are exhibitions about the life and work of F. I. Vasilyev, an ethnography collection reflecting the life of the northern Udmurts in the territory of Yarsky District, taxidermy animals, models of edible and poisonous mushrooms, as well as information on animals and plants listed in the Red Book of Udmurtia. The museum collection includes nearly 5,000 items in storage, reflecting the history of the district from the late 19th century to the present day. Museum staff conduct tourist routes to the district's historical sites, where visitors can see Pudemsky Pond, the first stone church in Udmurtia, a section of the Siberian Tract, the boundaries of glacier passage, and much more.
