The Tomsk History Museum is one of the city’s youngest museums. It was established in 2003. The museum’s exhibits are displayed in a brick building that used to house a police department with a wooden fire lookout tower before the Russian revolution.
The museum has several permanent exhibitions that are dedicated to various aspects of life in Tomsk and its region, including local merchants, peasant household items, firefighting, educational institutions, and the city’s residents who fought in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. In the museum’s halls, you will find old stove tiles, peasant chests and homeware, exquisite porcelain tableware and Kasli cast iron products, photographs and documents related to the history of educational institutions, personal belongings of famous residents of the city, as well as other valuable exhibits.
