Exhibition 'Modern History of Taman'

About exhibition

A combined visit includes two exhibitions: 'Events of the Great Patriotic War on Taman: 1942–1943' (third hall) and 'Nature of the Taman Peninsula' (fourth hall). The exhibition dedicated to the events of the Great Patriotic War on Taman in 1942–1943 displays museum collections and items from the Temryuk Museum's holdings: photographs, documents, everyday front-line items, and weapons. The history of the war is also told through documents: orders, award books, and identification papers. A separate display case is devoted to the period of occupation of the town and district. It contains photographs, documents, a whip, and a ramrod. At the exhibition dedicated to the nature of the Taman Peninsula, you can see museum collections and items from the Temryuk Museum's holdings: fossils of the peninsula's ancient inhabitants and taxidermied animals. In addition, there are taxidermied birds and fish, many of which are now extremely difficult to see in the wild, for example, sturgeon and the reed cat.
