Kirov is a city with deep layers of history and vibrant culture, where every walk turns into a small trip. Unique expositions are collected here, from local history collections and art collections to memorial houses and museums related to cosmonautics and medicine. Museum halls of Kirov give not only facts, but also emotions: from stories about the life of the Vyatka province to the pages of life of famous Russian writers and scientists.
The city is worth visiting the Kirov Regional Museum of Local History, one of the oldest in Russia and the first in the Vyatka province, where archaeological finds and materials on local history are stored. The Museum of K. E. Tsiolkovsky, Aviation and Cosmonautics tells about the connection of the region with the name of the founder of cosmonautics, and the House-Museum of A. S. Green is the only literary museum in the country dedicated to the outstanding writer. The house-museum of N. N. Khokhryakov, opened as part of the Vasnetsov Ring program on June 12, 1998, and the V. M. and A. M. Vasnetsov Vyatka Art Museum with painting collections give an idea of regional art. Museum and exhibition center "Diorama" with the exposition "Vyatka. 1917", opened in December 1977, attracts history lovers with large-scale stage compositions. There is also a lot of interesting things in the vicinity: the museum-estate of academician A. N. Bakulev, included in international catalogs, memorial houses of I. S. Konev and M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, as well as regional museums in Lala, Sanchury, Podosinovets, Kilmezi, Afanasiyevo and Pijan, each with its own local collection and rare household items.
The museum life of the city is dynamic: thematic projects and special exhibitions are organized for anniversary dates and memorable dates. Thus, the dates of the opening of museums in themselves became the reason for regular programs - December 5 (18) as the date of the foundation of the Vyatka Art Museum and December 1977, associated with the opening of the diorama, are accompanied by anniversary exhibitions. As part of regional initiatives, such as the Vasnetsov Ring, visiting and import exhibitions are held, and memorial museums mark the dates of the lives of their heroes with exhibitions and remembrance evenings. In spring and autumn, temporary expositions are changing especially actively, new route projects and joint actions with federal collections appear.
Come to Kirov to discover its variety of museums and histories; it is a great destination for cultural travel and educational itineraries. To make the visit as informative as possible, book a tour with a private guide: local guides know little-known details, know how to combine museums into logical routes and make each excursion lively and memorable. Plan your trip in advance, choose interesting exhibitions and book guides - and your trip to the museums of Kirov will be rich and emotional.
