About museum

In 1999, in the building of the former primary school in the village of Vylgort, the Museum of History and Culture of the Syktyvdinsky District was opened. It was founded by the honored cultural worker of the Komi Republic and honorary citizen of Vylgort and the Syktyvdinsky District, Emiliya Alekseevna Nalimova (1937–2019). The building was constructed in 1913 to a design by the first Komi architect A. V. Kholopov and is recognized as a regional architectural monument. In 2017 the museum was given the name of its founder. Today the museum's collection comprises 11,770 items, and the exhibition area is 489 sq. m. The halls feature permanent exhibitions and exhibition rooms. Of particular interest are the collection of Komi folk musical instruments assembled by the scholar P. I. Chistalev, and the exhibition of products from the Nyuvchim cast-iron foundry and Nyuvchim lace. The museum is a monument of the history and culture of the Syktyvdinsky District.
