Tamanskiy Muzeynyy Kompleks, Archaeological museum in Taman, Krasnodar Krai, Russia

The Tamanskiy Muzeynyy Kompleks is an archaeological museum in Taman with several exhibition halls displaying objects from different periods. The collections include pottery, tools, coins, and other artifacts from settlements that existed at this location over time.

The museum was founded in 1975 and stands on the archaeological site of Hermonassa-Tmutarakan, one of the oldest European settlements. The history of the place spans from ancient times to the medieval period, showing how different cultures took root here one after another.

The complex honors the heritage of the ancient Greek settlement Hermonassa that once thrived here for centuries. Visitors can see how Greek settlers shaped the coastline and what traces they left behind in the museum's objects.

The museum is a branch of the Krasnodar history and archaeology museum and runs its own restoration laboratory, so finds from digs across the Taman peninsula pass through it. Excavations it organises or hosts cover sites such as Phanagoria, Kepoi, Patrei and Cape Ruban. Collections include black-glazed pottery, lekythoi, terracottas, coins and amphora material.

The museum's restoration laboratory and its own expeditions supply the funds with finds from Phanagoria, Hermonassa-Tmutarakan, Patrei, Kepoi, Cape Ruban and the Volna and Artyushchenko settlements. The collections gathered there include terracotta, lekythoi, black-glazed pottery, coins, seals and amphora material.
