Historic-Architectiral Open Air Museum

The Historic-Architectural Open Air Museum is an open-air museum near Novosibirsk that spreads across a large area with multiple zones containing archaeological sites and old architectural monuments. The site has an administration building with exhibition halls and pathways that guide visitors through different zones.

The museum was founded in 1981 and is connected with the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It gathers and displays material remains from different periods of human settlement in this area.

The exhibits show stone monuments and tools from different periods that reveal how people lived in this region. You can see reconstructions of sacred sites and evidence of how Slavic settlers shaped this part of Siberia.

The site is well laid out with paths that lead through the different archaeological zones and provide access to the monuments. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and allow plenty of time to explore all the areas.

The Spaso-Zashiverskaya Church on the grounds is a rare example of 17th-century Russian wooden architecture that was moved from its original location on the Indigirka River. This building shows craftsmanship developed in that remote area.
