Museums spanning local history and art
The Korenovsky District Local History Museum is located at 144 Lenin Street in Korenovsk, in a building constructed in 1910. Before the Revolution, the house belonged to the merchant Arutyunov; in the 1930s, it was handed over to a printing house. The collections include ethnographic objects, numismatics, documents, photographs, applied art and technical objects.
In its Kuban Daily Life hall, the museum displays a diorama about the settlement of the Korenovsky Kuren, Cossack household items and a reconstructed Cossack house. Check before your visit whether this display is currently open. Another exhibition, “Enchanted World,” opened in June 2010, featuring matryoshka dolls and applied art objects.
