Interesting exhibition about native folks of this are and history of Novosibirsk. There are descriptions also you can use an online-guide for free. We didn't tske guided tour but we heared on of them. The guide wasn't good that is why i put 4 stars only. Some staff is very helpful.but some of them are not nice.

State historical museum of Novosibirsk region and local lore, awesome location right at the central square; the building itself was a part of the central marketplace originally.

Great museum but unhelpful staff. We arrived at 4, knowing the museum closed at 6. We bought a ticket and looked around the main exhibition. At 5.30 we tried to go into the downstairs area of the exhibition, but were told we needed a second ticket. we wen to buy this but we’re told that ticket sales stop at 5.30 (it was exactly 5.30) Therefore with 30 minutes till closing we were not allowed to buy a ticket or to enter the exhibition without one. Bizarre.

Often changing expositions, has english audio guide

Amazing! Very informative!

Nice small Museum with an interesting overview over the history of Novosibirsk and the Transsibirian Railroad. Other than what I saw here before going, a lot of information is also available in English. They also provided wifi (ask at the cashier) with the entry fee of 200 Rubel

Great place to visit! It's became our family tradition every couple months to explore new exhibition:)

It may look small relatively to other museums of this kind but it is well organized and gives pretty good impression of the city's history

Unhelpful staff but great museum

Lovely small museum with exhibition of history of local ethnic groups and WWI.
