Local History Museum of Khabarovsk: history, expositions and exhibitions. Khabarovsk Regional Museum named after N. I. Grodekov

Modern technologies, interactive expositions, 3D panoramas - all these are not epithets to the sci-fi film, but a description of the modern regional museum of Khabarovsk. A long thorny path, traversed for many years, led to the fact that the museum named after N.I. Grodekov is known not only throughout Russia, he is known throughout the world.

How it all began

Khabarovsk Regional Museum named after N.I. Grodekova solemnly opened in April 1894. Until now, 120 years after the foundation, this date is celebrated as a big holiday. The first haven, which took under its wing the Museum of Local History of Khabarovsk, became a pharmacy warehouse owned by one of the patrons of art.

This donor was VN. Radakov, also elected the first director.

The original collection was made by bit due to the charity of participants in research societies and other population of the region. The first director himself gave his ornithological collection to the Khabarovsk Museum of Local Lore.

A special attention should be paid to Nikolai Ivanovich Grodekov. The Governor-General handed over to the museum a solid amount, with the help of which it was possible to create an amazing collection of exhibits and books. Such a huge contribution was appreciated, and the Local History Museum of Khabarovsk received permission to carry the name of Grodekov.

It was under his supervision that the construction of a separate building was organized. Most of the money was collected by the residents of the city. And only two years after its founding, the Museum of Local Lore in Khabarovsk has moved to a still not fully completed, but its own building. In addition to the collection, which already numbered more than 10 thousand items, the museum was decorated with a granite turtle, brought from Ussuriysk.

The next director also entered the history of the museum and left his mark, creating an amazing outdoor exhibition. The artillery battery assembled by S.N. Vankovym represents a kind of border of the museum territory. It consisted of 10 ancient serf guns placed in the ground, bought by himself, an original grate and other weapons.

The Russian-Japanese war had a very negative impact on the state of affairs of the museum. The donations practically stopped, the motivation of the employees was reduced for quite understandable reasons. The nature of the Khabarovsk Territory, shown in natural science collections, ceased to impress the imagination.

Golden age

After some decline, the revival of the museum became the main goal of the new director, Vladimir Klavdievich Arsenyev.

The period of his administration received the saying name "Arsenievsky".

He organized annual expeditions, the purpose of which was the constant filling of collections. The nature of the Khabarovsk Territory was clearly demonstrated with the help of samples of flora and fauna, ethnological and other finds of V.K. Arsenyev and his associates.

The new director has established a lively cooperation both with domestic scientists and with foreign scientists.

Heavy days of wars and interwar period

The first blow to the heritage of the scientists was the revolution and the war that followed. After the coming of Soviet power, the museum was selected as Grodekova. Almost all employees were dismissed or left the museum themselves. Only the head and several curators of the museum remained to perform their duties. Not enough strength and money not only for basic repairs, but even for the protection of exhibits. Natural causes, temperature and humidity destroyed entire exposures.

In this crisis period, V.K. Arsenyev. Thanks to his activity and acquaintances with unique experts, the director managed to keep the museum afloat.

With the advent and consolidation of Soviet power, interference from outside into research and educational activities becomes more and more noticeable, which also made it much more difficult and slowed down scientific work.

Financing was reduced mercilessly. The related outflow of literate specialists was further aggravated by punitive measures taken in the 1930s. Before the start of the Great Patriotic War, the head of the expositions and five museum staff were placed in the conclusion.

After the war

Even worse was the state of affairs during the war itself.

Upon its completion, a slow rebirth began. A small but necessary repair, updating of expositions, organization of new expeditions. All this enabled us to raise the attendance and interest of local residents.

In 1975, a stunning panorama of the "Volochaevskaya battle" opens. Gorpenko and S.D. Agapova. It shows the second assault on the June-Koran hill during the Civil War in the Far East.

After the collapse of the USSR

The current head of the museum is N.I. Ruban used enormous forces to ensure that the museum not only survived during the crisis period of the 1990s, but also gained momentum in its research activities.

The centennial anniversary was marked by another significant event. The historical name of Grodekov was returned to the name of the museum.

Modernity and technical development have not been bypassed by the classical museum. A number of exhibitions have been reconstructed, among them "The Nature of the Khabarovsk Territory", unique panoramas in 3D have been opened, a museum for children has been created, which enjoys an unprecedented popularity.

New millennium

By the approach of the millennium, the administration of the museum is increasingly turning its attention to international cooperation. The regional museum exchanges exhibitions with foreign colleagues. Residents of Khabarovsk have already been able to see the exhibition from the Land of the Rising Sun - Japan - and the United States of America.

The museum could not ignore the fascinating action "Night at the Museum" and became its participant in 2011.

Today, the museum exhibits and stores more than 400,000 items of scientific and cultural value.

Awards

Khabarovsk Museum quickly gained fame not only in Russia, but also abroad.

Already under Soviet power, the collective was awarded the Red Banner of Change and was awarded the title of "The Best Museum of the RSFSR".

The Millennium was also marked by a high award. During the competition for the title of "Museum of the Year" within the framework of the "Window to Russia" competition, the institution was recognized as the best among other regional ones.

But, of course, the best reward is the love of the inhabitants of the city and its guests, who are delighted with the expositions.

Modern events

The Children's Museum is also very popular. Armed with modern polymeric instruments, acting on the basis of the latest research in pedagogy, the museum staff works with children from 2.5 years old.

Educational programs for visitors of all ages, projects and activities aimed at family leisure, romantic encounters have been developed.

Among the young people the program "Night at the Museum" is very popular.

Amazing 3D panoramas attract more and more viewers. To date, the number of these exposures has already reached seven.

Dynamic change of exhibitions helps to make more and more regular visitors.

But also this place will be interesting for tourists who want to get to know the Khabarovsk Territory more closely. Interestingly, the approaches to the museum are still "guarded" by the artillery battery, which was collected by S.N. Vankovym.
