Krasnaya Gorka Museum Complex

Krasnaya Gorka Museum Complex is a regional cultural heritage site dedicated to the coal mining history of the Kuzbass region with numerous exhibits spread across a large area. The complex shows how mining shaped the development of this area.

The site marks where Mikhailo Volkov discovered coal in 1721, marking the start of industrial development in the Kuznetsk Basin. This discovery triggered the region's transformation.

The museum displays the story of the Autonomous Industrial Colony Kuzbass from the 1920s, which brought international workers to the region. Visitors can explore exhibitions about how different cultures came together during this period.

The site is easily accessible by public transportation such as buses and trams from central Kemerovo. The best time to visit is on days with good weather, since much of the complex is outdoors.

The complex preserves the original House of the Mine Manager and a memorial to Saint Varvara, patron saint of coal miners. These objects illustrate the personal history of those who worked in this industry.
