Yasnogorsk Art and Local History Museum

About museum

Yasnogorsk District Art and Local History Museum received its first visitors on December 2, 1971. The museum's exhibition design immediately attracted the attention of visitors of different ages and interests: three nature halls, an antiquities hall, a hall of military glory, and a hall of the Soviet period. At various times the museum underwent reconstructions, exhibits were updated, and collections were replenished with new acquisitions.

\r\nThus, in December 1979 a diorama "Tank Battle at Revyakino Station", executed by the Honored Artist of the RSFSR A.I. Penkov, was ceremonially opened in the hall of military glory.

\r\nIn 1991, after a lengthy major renovation and reconstruction, the museum completely renewed its exhibition, expanded its area by opening a new exhibition hall and collection storage. With the expansion of the exhibition space, opportunities for exhibition activities emerged. As a result of this active work, the museum's collections began to be replenished with new acquisitions: paintings and items of decorative and applied arts.
