Ovgort Local History Museum named after Elena Ilyinichna Tylikova
About museum
In 1965 the first steps were taken to create the Ovgort Local History Museum, which was founded in 1983 and received municipal status in 1993. In 2015 the museum moved to an adapted building housing 8 sections of the permanent exhibition and a small hall for temporary exhibitions. Currently the museum has about 4,000 items in the main collection and 1,400 items in the scientific-supporting collection. The museum runs creative educational programs for children and schoolchildren, and conducts scientific research in several areas, including the study of 'forgotten crafts.' One of the museum's main goals is the promotion of the culture and traditions of the Syn region.
