Mozdok Museum of Regional Studies, Regional studies museum in Mozdok, Russia

The Mozdok Museum of Regional Studies holds historical documents, traditional clothing, and local crafts that tell the story of the region. The collection displays objects from everyday life that show how people in North Ossetia-Alania lived and what mattered to their communities.

The museum was officially founded on 27 March 1970, after operating for a year on a voluntary basis. History teacher Olga Stepanishcheva, retired colonel Mikhail Artyukhov (its first director) and curator Serafima Paltseva started it. In 1981 it moved from Skudra Street to the restored old building at Kirova 22, where it remains.

The exhibitions show how Armenians, Georgians, and Ossetians have lived together in the region and kept their traditions alive. Visitors can observe how these groups have shaped local crafts and daily customs that remain visible in Mozdok today.

The museum occupies a restored old building at Kirova Street 22 in the town centre, where it moved in 1981 from Skudra Street. Its 334.3 m² hold 281.25 m² of exhibition space across 8 halls and 53.05 m² of storage. Allow time for the halls on Mozdok's history, nature, archaeology, the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars, and the modern town.

The collection includes everyday objects from different periods that show how life in the town changed from its beginning to now. Items like old tools and weapons tell a story of personal experience rather than just facts.
