Sovetsky District Museum and Exhibition Center

About museum

In the Sovetsky District Museum are collected household items from the 1960s–1980s: furniture, a gramophone, radio, television and photographic equipment, tools, work clothes, awards of builders, loggers and railway workers, and various written and photographic documents. The museum's collections include materials about people associated with the district's history, as well as a plaster post-mortem mask of A. S. Pushkin, donated by the poet E. F. Vdovenko and originating from Pushkin's direct great-grandson. On display in the museum are halls of regional archaeology and ethnography, the history of the Sovetsky District, and large and small exhibition halls. The museum also collaborates with local artists and traditional craft masters, and sells souvenir products. The city tour includes a visit to the museum, the Young Naturalists Station, the ecological trail and the museum of the Malaya Sosva Nature Reserve.
