Transcarpathian Local History Museum named after Tivadar Lehoczky, Local history museum in Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
The Zakarpackie Muzeum Krajoznawcze is located in Uzhhorod's medieval castle and presents extensive collections about regional history. The exhibition rooms are spread across different castle chambers and display archaeological finds, crafts, and everyday objects from the region.
The institution took shape when it acquired major archaeological collections in 1950, establishing its foundation of ancient and medieval objects. These early acquisitions formed the basis for the regional collections now on display.
The exhibition displays folk clothing and handcrafted items from the region, reflecting how people lived across generations. These objects show the skills and customs that communities in Transcarpathia still practice today.
The building is easy to reach, located in the castle at Uzhhorod's center and accessible on foot. The collection spreads across several levels, so allow enough time to explore all the rooms.
The castle basement houses a wine tasting area where visitors can learn about winemaking traditions in Transcarpathia. This unexpected space blends the museum experience with local production practices.
