Donetsk Museum, Local history museum in Donetsk, Ukraine.

The museum spans 7,000 square meters across 29 halls, housing over 180,000 exhibits that document the development of the Donetsk region through time.

Founded in 1924 by geography professor O. Olshachenko and local collectors, the museum initially operated from the second floor of the Colosseum cinema.

The collections feature Scythian stone statues, Eneolithic ornaments, and artifacts representing different periods of human settlement in the Donets basin.

Following damage in 2014, the museum relocated its operations to Kramatorsk, where it continues to collect and preserve regional historical artifacts.

The museum houses paleontological specimens including complete skeletons of mammoths and woolly rhinoceros discovered in the surrounding region.
