Kostroma region Museum of Nature

The Kostroma region Museum of Nature presents local wildlife, plants, and ecosystems through carefully crafted displays that recreate natural habitats. Each exhibit shows different environments and the species that live within them.

The museum began in 1958 as part of the Kostroma State Historical Museum and gradually developed its own independent identity. A move to a separate building represented a turning point in its evolution.

The museum reflects how local people connect with their natural surroundings through the animals and plants on display. Visitors see which species matter to the region and how seasonal rhythms shape daily life here.

The museum sits on Molotchnaya Hill in an accessible location. Visitors should plan their trip according to weekday and weekend hours to make the most of their visit.

The displays feature specially created dioramas depicting different seasons in the region, reflecting the work of local artists and hunters. These handcrafted scenes offer insight into how people traditionally observed nature.
