Semiluki District Historical and Local Lore Museum

About museum

In March 1965 a decision was made to establish a Museum of Military and Labor Glory in the town of Semiluki. Teachers, schoolchildren, employees of the district military commissariat, industrial workers and members of the town and district community took part in its creation. Within two months a large amount of material was collected about the Civil War and the Great Patriotic War (World War II), and about the district's revolutionary past. The museum was opened on May 8, 1965. Then, in 1985, the first reconstruction of the museum took place, and in 2017 it was granted the status of a historical and local lore museum. Today the museum consists of exhibitions that tell about the region's past, the proud traditions of the Semiluki area, and people who have left a lasting positive legacy. Here one can see Devonian-period mollusks, quartz and flint plates, weapons and household items from the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age; learn about ancestors who took part in the events of 1812 and the First and Second World Wars; and about the achievements of the district's workers in the present day.
