Tomsk Oblast Local Museum, Regional museum in Tomsk, Russia.

The Tomsk Oblast Local Museum occupies the former town estate of gold magnate Ivan Astashev, a two-storey Empire-style stone house built in 1838–1842 on Yurtochnaya Gora. The estate also holds a courtyard wing, a street wing approved in 1859, a bell tower rebuilt after its 1880s destruction, a house church of 1884–1886, stone storehouses and a stone bathhouse. Its holdings exceed 230,000 items.

The museum opened on 18 March 1922 in the former mansion of gold magnate Ivan Astashev, built in 1838–1842. From 1922 to 1933 it was led by Mikhail Shatilov, after whom it is named. Closed from July 1985 to October 1997 for repairs to the main building, it reopened with temporary exhibitions after the estate's restoration was completed in 2005.

The museum's name honours Mikhail Shatilov, its director from 1922 to 1933. Since 2007 it has held a "Night at the Museum" event, joined by a November "Night of the Arts" from 2013 and a January "Svyatochnoye Novogodye" from 2014. A programme called "Museum Breakfast. Food for Thought", run with a Tomsk cafe, introduces students to the history and culture of Tomsk and Siberia.

The museum occupies the Astashev estate on Yurtochnaya Gora, whose main house was built in 1838–1842; the complex also includes a courtyard wing, a street wing, a bell tower rebuilt after its 1920s demolition, a house church and stone bathhouses. The permanent exhibition has never opened, so visitors see temporary and travelling displays instead; the museum also runs a planetarium, archive, library and restoration workshops.

The museum's name honours Mikhail Shatilov, who directed it from September 1922 to April 1933. Its holdings exceed 230,000 items, and the institution also runs an archive, a library, restoration workshops, a planetarium, two museums in Tomsk and five more across Tomsk Oblast.
