Novoanninsky Historical and Local Lore Museum

About museum

On November 24, 1967, the Historical and Local Lore Museum was opened; it was originally named 'Fifty Years of the Great October'. It houses collections of archaeology, paleontology, ethnography, technology, photographs, documents, numismatics, decorative applied arts and fine arts. The museum exhibits items in four exhibition and display halls, as well as at a Cossack homestead. The institution offers permanent exhibitions 'Archaeology and Paleontology', 'Life and Everyday Life of the Cossacks', 'The Twentieth Century — Revolutionary', 'The District During the Great Patriotic War', 'Novoanninsky Residents — soldiers and workers who brought fame to their native land'. In 2020, a stylized Cossack homestead was opened in the museum courtyard featuring a kuren (Cossack hut), a summer stove, a shed, a well, a wattle fence, gates, and sculptural compositions of a Cossack, a Cossack woman, and a barefoot Cossack boy.
