Stavropol State Historical, Cultural and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve

More than a hundred years ago, in 1903, G.N. Prozritelev, who was a local historian and public figure, proposed to create a museum of local lore in the city of Stavropol. A year later, the school commission of the city Duma of Stavropol proposed to create a museum in the city, which will present interesting visual aids of various types. These two museums were officially formalized in 1905 and received the status of city museums. In 1927, they became one institution, which is located in the building of the former shopping arcades. The museum is currently located there.

The collections that are presented in the museum are able to reflect the entire history of the museum from the moment of its creation to the present time, as well as the history of Stavropol and the entire Caucasus. Here you can see the paleontological collection, which is evaluated at the world level.

The museum also presents such collections as botanical, mineralogical, zoological, entomological. There is also an archaeological collection that occupies a special place in the exhibition.

Of particular interest to visitors are the following collections: weapons, collections of various teaching aids. There is also a very large photo documentary archive, which fully reflects the history of the twentieth century.
