Exhibition 'Contemporary History of Taman'

About exhibition

The combined visit includes two exhibitions: 'Events of the Great Patriotic War in Taman: 1942–1943' (third hall) and 'Nature of the Taman Peninsula' (fourth hall). The exhibition devoted to the events of the Great Patriotic War in Taman (1942–1943) presents museum collections and items from the Temryuk Museum's holdings: photographs, documents, wartime household items, and weapons. The photographic material shows events of the Great Patriotic War: episodes, participants, and heroes. The history of the war is also told through documents: orders, award booklets, and identity papers. A separate showcase is dedicated to the period of occupation of the town and district; it contains photographs, documents, a whip, and a ramrod. In the exhibition devoted to the nature of the Taman Peninsula, you can see museum collections and items from the Temryuk Museum's holdings: fossils of ancient inhabitants of the Taman Peninsula and taxidermy animals. The exhibition is especially interesting for children — kindergarten groups and early-grade pupils. Their attention is drawn to the stuffed animals, from hedgehogs to wild boars. The exhibition also features stuffed birds and fish, many of which are now extremely difficult to see in the wild, for example the sturgeon and the reed cat.
