Краеведческий музей
Museum
Open Details
The museum complex of Yalutorovsk consists of the local history museum, the historical and memorial museum, the nature museum and the museum "Trading rows" - all of them are interesting in their own way. The local history museum is a real repository of time: here you will learn how about 10 000 years ago in these lands appeared the first settlements of fishermen and hunters, you will see the household objects of ancient people and will hear a story about the first industrial enterprise of the city. Spoiler alert: it was a five-storey steam mill!

Istoriko-Memorial'nyy Muzey
Museum
Open Details
Yalutorovsk was one of the largest settlements of Decembrists. They were active and not indifferent people, so they actively developed the town during their exile. One of the few surviving houses of that time belonged to the famous Decembrist Muravyov-Apostol, now there is a museum with three memorial rooms - a hall, the master's study and a living room. You must come here to see how the disgraced noblemen lived in the middle of the 19th century.

Muzey "Torgovyye Ryady"
Museum
Open Details
Now that you know the history of this city and the role of the Decembrists in it, find out how industry and trade developed in this area. The museum building itself deserves special attention: it is located in a former 19th-century complex of warehouses, commercial and residential buildings, which were used for selling, storing goods, and accommodating visiting merchants.

Sretensky Cathedral
Church
Open Details
The cathedral was built in 1837 in the architectural style called "Siberian Baroque". The two-story stone church featured a wonderful facade decor and an abundance of patterns, but in 1931 it was blown up and dismantled for bricks. What do you see now? The cathedral was restored in the early XXI century from old photographs, and now it is once again proudly towering above the Tobol River.
