Alabin museum

The Alabin Museum is a history and local lore museum in Samara that brings together geological, archaeological, and historical collections. The exhibitions display finds from different periods and cultures that tell the story of this region.

The museum was founded in 1886 under Emperor Alexander III, at the initiative of Peter Vladimirovich Alabin, who led Samara at that time. It grew from a desire to preserve the history and nature of this region for future generations.

The museum displays items representing daily life of various peoples from the Volga region, from coins to handcrafted objects. These collections help visitors understand how communities in this area lived across different time periods.

The museum is easy to reach and offers facilities adapted for visitors with disabilities and a museum shop. It is worth setting aside time for a leisurely walk to properly appreciate the many exhibition pieces.

The museum holds a remarkable weapons collection spanning six centuries, containing both Russian and international cold steel and firearms. This collection shows military history from a practical perspective rather than just a theoretical one.
