Muzey Istorii Sibirskogo Trakta
About This Museum
Stepping into this museum feels like walking straight onto the old Siberian Trakt itself. I was immediately struck by how this place makes a vast, historic trade route feel so personal and tangible. It’s not just a collection of objects; it's a story of movement, commerce, and the lives of everyone from exiled prisoners to wealthy merchants. You can almost hear the creak of cart wheels and feel the dust of the road.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the recreated coachman's inn, complete with a traditional stove and simple wooden benches where travelers would have rested. The most fascinating exhibit for me was a genuine section of the original road, preserved right under glass in the floor—you're literally walking over history. They also have a compelling display of forged shackles and personal items that belonged to exiles forced to march this path.
Visitor Information
It's located right on Sovetskaya Street in Debesy—look for the charming wooden building. The staff are incredibly passionate and full of stories if you have a moment to chat. It’s a compact museum, so you can easily get a rich experience without needing to dedicate your whole day.
