Museum of Regional Studies

The Museum of Regional Studies is located in Kropyvnytskyi and houses multiple exhibition rooms with artifacts spanning archaeology, history, and natural sciences. The collections include objects from excavations, personal items, and an extensive display of regional wildlife specimens and botanical materials.

The institution began as an archive of archaeological discoveries from the 19th century, with holdings expanded through donations from church communities and private collectors. Over time, these accumulated materials formed the foundation for understanding the region's development and its people.

The museum reflects how local communities preserved their stories through donations of personal items, family records, and everyday objects. Walking through the galleries, you see how ordinary people documented their lives and traditions across generations.

The museum operates on a standard weekday schedule that varies throughout the week. It is best to visit when you have time to move through the exhibition rooms without rushing, especially if the natural history section interests you.

The natural history section holds an extensive collection of preserved animal specimens from the region that serves as a teaching tool for local schools. This role as an educational resource makes the museum valuable beyond its function as a repository of artifacts.
