Rostovskiy Oblastnoy Muzey Krayevedeniya
About This Museum
People come to the Rostov-on-Don Museum of Regional Studies not just to kill a rainy afternoon, but to genuinely connect with the layered history of the Don region. You can easily spend a couple of hours wandering its spacious halls, which are packed with everything from ornate 19th-century furniture to Soviet-era childhood toys. It’s the kind of place where a traditional Cossack costume is displayed near delicate porcelain, telling a more complete story of local life. The sheer variety of artifacts makes it feel like you're exploring a well-organized, fascinating attic belonging to the entire city.
Collection Highlights
Look for the detailed recreations of historic domestic interiors and the extensive collection of traditional Cossack weaponry and textiles. The folk art section, with its vibrant painted ceramics, is also a standout.
