Bakunina Street 3, Tomsk, Regional museum building on Bakunina Street in Tomsk, Russia.

Bakunina Street 3 houses a two-story building serving as a regional history museum with collections on Siberian development through documents and artifacts. The displays show how the city and its surroundings changed over time.

The museum was created by a decision of the Tomsk city administration on 16 July 1997, and after six years of preparation it opened to visitors on 7 June 2003. Its building, designed by engineer V. K. Fadeev, dates from 1859 and originally housed the Voskresenskaya private police department. The fire watchtower, built at the same time, was dismantled in the 1960s and restored before the museum opened.

The museum displays objects from daily life across different periods in Tomsk's history, including photographs, household goods, and traditional regional crafts. Visitors can see how people lived here and what mattered to them.

The museum is easy to find at its central location in Tomsk and offers guided tours and educational programs for visitors. It is helpful to check in advance when guided tours are available, as these enhance understanding of the collections.

The museum's logo shows a dinosaur-like creature called Dinotherium, copied from glazed stove tiles found by archaeologist Maria Chernaya on Voskresenskaya Hill. The fire tower beside the building, restored before the museum opened, now serves as the city's only equipped observation deck, with a 2006 statue of a fire watchman that locals nicknamed Afanasy.
