Cherdyn museum

Cherdyn Museum is a regional museum spread across several buildings in this Russian town. The collection includes archaeological finds, historical documents, and ethnographic objects that show the history and culture of the Cherdyn district and surrounding areas.

The museum was founded in 1899 by local intellectuals and was originally named after Alexander Pushkin. It merged with another museum in 1918 and developed into what it is today.

The museum displays traditional crafts and wooden religious sculptures that show how local people lived in this region. You can see everyday objects that tell the story of daily work and customs from the area.

The museum is spread across multiple buildings, including the main building in a former council building and an exhibition hall in a former girls' school. Plan to spend time exploring all areas since the collections are extensive.

The museum holds a notable numismatic collection featuring Russian imperial coins and international currency. This collection survived difficult periods but lost some pieces during historical upheavals in the region.
