Azov History, Archaeology and Paleontology Museum-Reserve

The Azov History Museum contains over 400,000 exhibits across 23 exhibition halls displaying archaeological findings and paleontological specimens from the region.

Initially established in 1917 through local community efforts, the museum experienced destruction during both the Russian Civil War and World War II before reopening in 1960.

The museum houses an extensive collection of 20,000 artifacts from Eurasian nomadic cultures, dating from the third millennium BC to the 14th century AD.

Located at Moskovskaya Street 38/40, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tours through its main exhibition halls.

The museum displays the mounted skeleton of a Trogontherium mammoth discovered in 1964, which required 17 years of careful restoration work at the Leningrad Zoological Institute.
