Omsk State Local History Museum

Omsk Museum of Local History is one of the oldest museums not only in Siberia, but also among other Russian museums. It was founded in 1878, and over the years of its existence, an extensive collection of exhibits has been collected. Today, more than 170 thousand items are stored in museum funds.

Permanent expositions and numerous temporary exhibitions of the museum tell the amazing history of Priirtyshye in the period from the XII millennium BC to the present day. The most valuable exhibit is the banner of the Siberian Cossack army, which dates back to 1690. In 1959, this relic was sent for restoration and returned to the museum only forty years later, decorating the exposition.

In addition to the unique collection of objects of great interest to guests of Omsk are the gates of the museum, which received the unofficial name "Gates of History". The gates of modernity”. Completed in 1982, the gate consisted of several dozen fragments, representing a separate plot. Collected together these pictures make up the history of the whole country.
