In Noyabrsk Park, quiet areas for enjoying nature alternate with unusual art installations and colourful spaces with a variety of uses. Paths and steps lead to the viewing platform; they are designed to accommodate people with limited mobility. There are also designated cycle paths.
Culture in Noyabrsk Park
The Num Nature and Ethnography Complex is located on the upper level of the park. All the exhibits there are connected with the culture of the Indigenous peoples of the North. The complex includes a walking park, a children’s playground, themed photo areas and art installations. The park and complex facilities may change; if a particular path, the platform or an element of Num is important to you, check the current situation in advance.
Museums and Cultural Programme
Noyabrsk’s Museum Resource Centre comprises the Museum of Fine Arts, the Children’s Museum, the Museum of City History, the V. M. Grigor Museum of Military Glory and the Municipal Crafts Centre. Its subjects range from art and local history to military remembrance and crafts. The centre offers exhibitions, city tours, museum events for visitors, lectures and game programmes, as well as workshops including pottery, bone carving and glass fusing. The names and components of the centre may change. If you are planning a particular workshop or tour, check current offerings, dates and booking details.
Exhibitions and lectures have a different focus from workshops, which centre on hands-on activities. This can help you choose between a more observational and a more practical, craft-based experience.
The photographic chronicle “Progulki po Noyabrsku” is about Noyabrsk; the set was published in 2020.
Riverbanks and Winter Walks
Birch and pine trees grow along the banks of the Nankpyokh River. Noyabrsk residents often spend time there enjoying the outdoors; they also pick mushrooms and go fishing. The river is therefore both part of the landscape and a feature of everyday life. Alley Boulevard is a popular walking route for residents and is also colloquially known as “Noyabrsk Arbat.” In winter, a walk there offers views of the winter landscape; conditions vary.
Monuments in the Cityscape
The “Yamal” monument was unveiled on 13 September 2012 and is considered a symbol of the history and culture of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It is made of bronze and stands just over eight metres tall.
The pedestrian fountain opened in 2016. It is located beside the Yamal Cultural and Sports Complex, on the grounds of the square of the same name. Its design allows visitors to walk between the jets of water. If you plan to visit this feature, check conditions on the day of your visit in advance.
