Victory Memorial Museum

About museum

The Victory Memorial Museum is a unique military-historical museum-memorial that was built to the design of chief architect Areg Sarkisovich Demirkhanov and his co-authors A. S. Brusyanin and V. I. Ulyanov. The complex was opened on May 9, 1975, and is located on a site associated with the city's wartime history. Over the years the complex has undergone several reconstructions, and in the 1990s it became a museum. In 2000 the building acquired its modern appearance. The museum has two halls: the Hall of Remembrance with lists of the dead and missing soldiers, and the main exhibition hall dedicated to the history of the Great Patriotic War. The museum's collections contain more than one and a half thousand exhibits, most of which were donated by local residents.
