The Omsk State Museum of History and Local Lore is a regional museum in Omsk, Russia, displaying exhibits about natural history, archaeology, and regional artifacts across multiple floors. The collections include objects from different time periods that document the material culture of the region.

The museum was founded in 1878 as a research center for Western Siberia, collecting materials about the region's geography and native populations. Over time, it became an important institution for preserving and presenting the area's past to the public.

The museum displays traditional clothing, tools, and household items that show how different ethnic groups in Siberia lived day to day. Walking through these collections, you can see the practical side of daily life as it was lived by people across the region.
