Arkhangelsk is a city with a strong northern character, where each exposition tells about the sea voyages, crafts and literary fates of the North. A walk through museums here turns into a real journey into the past and present of the region: from wooden architecture to the history of Arctic exploration, from nautical maps to personal archives of writers. For lovers of cultural routes Arkhangelsk offers a rich set of acquaintances with unique collections and atmospheric venues.
In the historical center is the State Northern Maritime Museum with collections dedicated to Pomeranian shipping, model flotilla, navigation maps and artifacts of polar expeditions. In the vicinity, you can visit the Historical and Memorial Museum of M.V. Lomonosov in Lomonosovo, where materials about the life and work of the great scientist are stored, as well as the Museum of Artistic Development of the Arctic named after A.A. Borisov with the works of artists and everyday objects of polar explorers. The Arkhangelsk Regional Museum is one of the oldest in Russia, its collections include archaeological finds and rare ethnographic collections. A special place is occupied by the museum-reserve "Small Korely" - a large-scale open-air museum with samples of wooden architecture and folk craft, where you can see saved church and residential buildings of the XVIII-XIX centuries. Literary sites are represented by the Arkhangelsk Literary Museum and the F.A. Abramov Literary and Memorial Museum with manuscripts and funds of northern authors. Among the specialized institutions, it is worth noting the Museum of Aviation of the North with exhibits of aircraft and units, the House-Museum of Admiral N.G. Kuznetsov in the village of Medvedki, as well as specialized local history museums in Ustyansk, Krasnoborsk, Nyandom, Pinezh, Leshukon and other areas, where unique craft items, household utensils and local archives are stored.
The museum life of Arkhangelsk is dynamic: permanent and temporary exhibitions replace each other, and institutions exchange imported expositions and stock shows. Collections regularly feature thematic projects dedicated to marine expeditions, the history of fisheries and northern culture; many museums update expositions for anniversary dates and regional holidays. Although the text does not list specific festivals, visitors can count on seasonal programs in the “Small Korela”, exhibitions on the history of medicine in the museum at SSMU and thematic projects in local history and literary museums, as well as on constant demonstrations of aviation and marine artifacts that preserve the memory of Arkhangelsk’s contribution to the development of the North.
Come to Arkhangelsk to see these expositions with your own eyes and feel the atmosphere of the northern city. The best way to better understand the collections and not lose important details is to use the services of a private guide: an experienced guide will make the best route, tell little-known stories and help organize excursions to your interest. Book your itinerary in advance and turn your trip to the museums of Arkhangelsk into a memorable adventure.
