Mordovian History Museum, Regional history museum in Saransk, Russia.
The museum building stands at the base of a hill near the Cathedral of St. Theodor Ushakov, containing multiple exhibition halls across three floors.
Founded in 1918, the museum occupied the Three Saints Church building on Moscovskaya Street before relocating to its current location on Saranskaya Street in 2017.
The ethnographic collection displays thousands of items representing Mordvin daily life, including traditional clothing, decorations, household objects, and folk art pieces.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, offering guided tours in Russian language through the exhibitions.
The natural history section exhibits paleontological specimens including mammoth tusks, prehistoric rhinoceros bones, and a complete cave bear skeleton.
