Tarusian Museum of Local History

The Provincial Historical Museum was formed by members of the Kaluga Scientific Archival Commission and opened to visitors in 1897 in the architectural monument of the XVII century - the chambers of Korobov merchants. Kaluga Regional Museum of Local Lore since 1922 is located in the former city estate of merchant I.M. Zolotarev, built in 1805-1808. In the building of the estate of the merchant Zolotarev, murals of walls and ceilings, highly artistic bas-reliefs, inlaid floors are preserved - all these are works of the Moscow art workshop of S.P. Campioni. In the halls of the museum there are two exposition departments: the history and nature of the Kaluga Territory. The latest history is represented by the theme “Events of the Great Patriotic War on the territory of the region”.
