Museum of the History of the Exploration and Development of the NPR — Talnakh Branch

About museum

From 1979 to 1991, a community museum operated in Talnakh (7 Stroiteley Street). Its collections included photographs from family albums donated by Talnakh’s veteran geologists and builders, samples of ores and minerals, a model of the KZ-21 drilling rig, personal belongings of geologists, and more. In 1991 it was reorganized into a branch of the Museum of the History of the Exploration and Development of the NPR. On May 18, 2012, after reconstruction, the Talnakh branch opened its doors to visitors. It houses two permanent exhibitions: “Talnakh: From the First Well to New Horizons” and “Inhabitants of the Taimyr Nature Reserves,” as well as a temporary exhibition hall and a lecture hall. In addition, the museum holds events and assists enterprises, organizations, and residents of the Talnakh area. The museum receives about 120,000 visitors annually.
