Exhibition Hall of the Ilyinsky Local History Museum

About museum

The Exhibition Hall of the Ilyinsky Local History Museum was built in 1801 to a design by the architect A. N. Voronikhin. Here you can see a beautiful drawing room with excellent acoustics and a billiard table from the first half of the 19th century. The museum houses more than 19,000 exhibits that reflect the socio-economic life of Ilyinsky in the 18th century. The museum also covers the activities of the intelligentsia during and after serfdom, and provides access to the collections of the Teploukhov family, the archive of the Administration of the Stroganovs' undivided estate in Perm, materials on Old Believers, peasant and merchant life, an ethnographic collection, and a wooden bicycle called 'Kostotryas, which amazed everyone', made by local peasant S. Abramov in the first half of the 19th century. All this makes the museum attractive to visitors.
