Museum of the History of Physics

About museum

In 1984 the Museum of the History of Physics of Tomsk State University was founded, dedicated to telling the story of the formation of scientific schools at the university. Its collections contain about 5,000 items that can be seen in the exhibition: from physical instruments to documents, photographs and scientists' manuscripts, as well as a large book collection. Some items were acquired from well-known firms such as Siemens, Max Kohl and Halske, while others were produced in the workshops of TSU's physics laboratory. All items are certified by the Association of Scientific and Technical Museums of the Russian National Committee of the International Council of Museums. The museum invites researchers, students and other visitors to become acquainted with the monuments of science and technology, and to use its collections and library for research and educational purposes.
