Museums in Michurinsk and Nearby
The museum “Michurinskiy kraevedcheskiy muzey” dedicates its exhibition halls to military glory, the history of Kozlov-Michurinsk, nature, the history of Orthodoxy, the Great Patriotic War and the honorary citizens of Michurinsk. Its range of topics brings together local history, nature, religious history and remembrance of the war.
The exhibition hall of the museum “Muzey-usadba A. M. Gerasimova” was built in 1981 to mark the artist’s 100th birthday and displays a collection of his works. The reason for its establishment and its collection give this museum a distinct focus on art history.
The house museum “Dom-muzey Ivana Michurina” is located in a suburb of Michurinsk, on the bank of the Lesnoy Voronezh River. The first hall is dedicated to Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin, the second to the lives and work of his students, and the third to Michurinsk’s modern scientific achievements. The layout thus leads from the individual, through his circle, to the city’s scientific achievements.
