Liskinsky Local History Museum

About museum

The ceremonial opening of the Liskinsky Local History Museum took place on September 9, 2001. Ten years earlier the 19th-century station-adjacent school building was relocated and restored. The museum has seven exhibition halls, an art salon, an exhibition hall, and the Vasily Pavlovich Krivoruchko Art Gallery. It permanently displays almost 300 works and is the only museum in the region where one can view Voronezh visual art of the second half of the 20th and the early 21st centuries. The museum also holds over 20,000 collection items, including more than 1,000 artworks, mainly by Voronezh and Liskinsky artists. In addition, the museum hosts 10–15 art and photography exhibitions annually. On the museum grounds there is also a monument to the local poet A. B. Romakhov, erected in 2011 with public funds with the participation of the museum staff and created by sculptor A. Lukyanov.
