Zhytomyr Regional Museum

The Zhytomyr Regional Museum houses over 160,000 artifacts across seven divisions, including natural sciences, history, ethnography, and art collections in a two-floor building.

Founded in October 1865 through the Volyn Provincial Statistical Committee, the museum began with a mineral collection that expanded through contributions from scholars and historians.

The museum maintains multiple branches throughout the region, including literary memorial museums dedicated to Lesia Ukrainka in Novohrad-Volynskyi and Vladimir Korolenko in Zhytomyr.

The institution organizes scientific conferences, educational programs, thematic evenings, and creative meetings while providing access to extensive archaeological and natural history collections.

The museum features one of Ukraine's finest natural collections, including a taxidermy exhibition displaying the regional fauna and artifacts from Zhytomyr Palaeolithic excavation sites.
