About museum

The Museum of the History of Izobilnensky District was established in 1979 at the initiative of reserve officers as a district historical-revolutionary museum of labor and military glory. The core of its collection was formed by the personal collection of A. P. Sklyarov, a participant in the Great Patriotic War. The museum actively cooperated with A. V. Sulyga, V. D. Kalmykov, A. A. Sinkliner, A. V. Smirskaya, and A. E. Bogachkova. The museum is located in the center of the town of Izobilny. Its exhibitions present archaeological finds, nature, and the history of the settlement and development of Izobilnensky District. Also featured are notable residents of Izobilny, such as sculptor Nikolai Sanzharov, Olympic champion Andrey Chemerkin, People's Artist of the Russian Federation Olga Meshcheryakova, and honorary citizen Lyudmila Nefyodova. The museum's collections comprise more than 17,000 exhibits. The museum hosts artists' exhibitions, meetings with prominent people of Izobilnensky District, and museum events.
