Khabarovsk Regional Museum Named After N.I. Grodekov, Far Eastern District, Russia

4.5 (451 reviews) Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Far Eastern District Speciality Museums

Wonderful museum, but why no English translation?

This museum stretch on two buildings, and two floors well worth a visit. So much to see from prehistoric times to present, and great information about the tribes that inhabit the places. There is a wide range of cultural, historical and ecological exhibits of the region. There is also a good geological section, wide exhibition of stuffed animal in very good condition. Top floor is a painting montage depicting a famous civil war battle fought in the region. If only they could have signage in English. I fill missing part of the knowledge and it is very pity. After all it is not very complicated to print an English translation. All in all it is a must see attraction

Best natural and human history museum in Russia
As a foreigner living in Russia, I have seen a lot of museums documenting both natural history and the history of the country. Unfortunately, the first category tend to be worn down and the latter to be unable to renew themselves for economical or ideological reasons. Not so in Khabarovsk. This museum starts with a great exhibition about the nature and environment of the region. Then it follows up with an up-to-date review of the region's modern history, with a lot of information and fascinating displays about the repression in the 30's, the thaw of the 60's and the havoc of the 90's. A guide is recommended if you can't read Russian. Do not pass by if you intend to visit any museum in the Russia Far east. 330 rubles for adults.

Nice place to visit
This is a great museum for anyone wishing to learn history of Russian Far East. They have exhibits ranging from natural history (see the remains of Amurozaurus) and ethnography, to history of Russian revolution in the Far East. Expect to spend several hours at the museum and do not forget to bring a camera. On the day we went, they a lot of activities for kids including painting and a play room. Overall a must see if you're in Khabarovsk. Here is a more formal quote from museum's website: "The Khabarovsk Regional Museum was opened on the initiative of the Priamursky department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society in April, 19, 1894. The museum has got the status of the scientific institution and is a member of the Russian Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Nowadays the museum reserves contain more than 460 thousand items. Its expositions give information on the ancient history of the Priamurye, the unique nature of the Russian Far East, inhabitants of the Amur-River, history and culture of the region. Unique archeological, ethnographical, paleontological and historical collections are the basis of the expositions, which annually are visited by 180.000 people. "
