Lomonosov is a city where small but sincere museum collections allow you to look into the life of the local community and feel the connection of times. Walking through the streets here easily turns into a journey through history: each exposition tells its own special, living history, and the atmosphere of the city halls disposes to a leisurely acquaintance with objects and documents of the past.
In the center of the museum life of the city is the Lomonosov Local History Museum, located in an ancient building on Yeleninskaya Street. In its halls, materials on the history of the settlement are collected: archival photographs and documents, household items of the last century, ethnographic finds and local archival collections, which help to put together a holistic picture of the development of the region. In addition to the central local history collection, there are small museum corners and historical estates in the vicinity, where crafts, local traditions and rare objects from private collections are presented; such visits expand the standard route and give an idea of the life of the region outside the center.
Lomonosov’s museum poster is dynamic: during the year temporary exhibitions, thematic projects and master classes are held here, mobile expositions from large collections come, lectures and events are organized as part of the Night of Museums. Keep an eye out for announcements and seasonal schedules – in spring and summer, large guest projects are more common, and on holiday dates museums arrange special programs and excursions for families and school groups.
