Berezovsky Museum of Local Lore

In 1979, in a wooden building of the late XIX century, the Berezovsky Museum of Local Lore was opened, created on a voluntary basis. The development of the institution was facilitated by a wide range of local intellectuals. In 1988, the museum was awarded the title “People’s”. The first director was the head of the propaganda department of the CPSU district committee Natalia Elizarovna.

Over the years, the museum has formed several collections that make up the main museum fund today. The history and development of the northern region are presented in such expositions as “Discovery of Berezovsky Gas”, “Pripolar Urals”, “Archaeology”, “Nature”, “Ethnography and Clothing of Indigenous Peoples”, “Spiritual Culture of Indigenous Peoples”, “History of the Education of Berezovo”, “Great exiles”, “Merchant and Soviet Time”.
