Museum of the history of Donetsk National Technical University, Museu na Ucrânia
The Museum of the History of Donetsk National Technical University is a museum space housed in the university's ninth building that documents the institution's evolution over nearly a century. The displays feature archival photographs, documents, and objects organized chronologically, with separate sections dedicated to major historical events and the academic departments of each era.
The institution began in 1921 as a mining technical school and went through several name changes before becoming the modern university; the museum opened in 1970 to commemorate the polytechnic's fiftieth anniversary. The liberation of Donetsk on September 8, 1943 marks a significant moment in local history and is presented through a special diorama display.
The museum displays how the university shaped technical education and scientific progress in the region through its various departments and notable figures over the decades. Visitors can see the connection between this institution and the development of the city itself.
The museum is located in the university's ninth building on Artyoma Street and is easily accessible when exploring the campus. The layout follows a chronological path, making it straightforward to move through the exhibits at your own pace.
The museum features a large 5 by 8 meter painting created by local artist Kolmikov, divided into two sections that show both historical events and the academic structure of the university system. A separate diorama exhibition by artist Kubrak depicts the city's liberation, linking military history with the institution's educational story.
