Museum of the City

The building was built to house the museum of the First Society of Scientists on Russia’s Pacific coast which was founded in 1884. Citizens who were aware of the museum’s importance played an imperative role in its construction and the formation of its collections. The museum had a regional history objective: to explore the unfamiliar environment which had shaped Vladivostok. Now, Vladivostok itself has become the object of study. The Museum’s attention is not only drawn to regional history, but also to the study of local history as well as the phenomenon of the Vladivostok Fortress.
