Abat Museum of Local History

The Abat Museum of Local History is located in an old historical house built by the merchant Zanin in 1855. The museum was opened to visitors in 1994, but was founded by a group of enthusiasts much earlier. To date, the museum has more than two and a half thousand exhibits and occupies several halls in the merchant house.

The exposition is divided into eight different subthemes, including paleontology, history, nature, art gallery, etc. One of the gems of the museum is the model of the Abat prison, reflecting the winter life of the ancient settlement. In addition, curious exhibits here are pottery, Siberian coins, a collection of miniature equipment of the early 20th century, which was made by the local "Left" and much more.
