The history of the Nefteyugansk History and Art Museum Complex dates back to 1982. At that time, the public museum was founded in the city. In 1989, it became the City Museum of Local History, and then — the Museum of the Ob River. The Art Gallery “Metamorphosis” opened its doors in 1997, and in 2010, the Culture and Exhibition Center “Ust-Balyk” was opened on the place of Nefteyugansk first historical buildings. Nowadays, these museums are formed into one museum complex. Its exhibitions tell about the region’s history from the ancient time, about Siberia oil exploitation, about the culture of the people living on this land.
Archival documents, rare manuscripts and printed books, objects of archeology and ethnography are stored and studied in the museum complex funds. Here, one can see the models of big and small vessels, that sailed on the Ob River in the 17th–20th centuries, as well as specimens of rare fish of Ob-Irtysh river basin.
