Amur Oblast Local Museum

The Amur Oblast Local Museum houses collections of archaeological discoveries, ethnographic objects, and historical documents from the Amur region within a brick building. The collections span different cultures and periods, representing the long history of this area.

The museum was founded in 1891 and documents the development of Blagoveshchensk from a military outpost to a modern city. Its establishment came after the city took shape as a garrison at the confluence of rivers.

The museum displays handmade objects and daily life items from communities that lived in the region. The exhibitions show how people here worked and lived across generations.

The building is located in the city center and is easy to reach on foot. Exhibitions can be viewed at your own pace or explored with guided tours.

The museum sits right at the border with China and reflects exchanges between Blagoveshchensk and the Chinese city of Heihe on the opposite bank of the Amur River. This location makes the building a symbol of historical connections between the two nations.
