Archaeology Museum
The highlights of the small Archaeology Museum are the reproductions and diagrams of the wide-eyed figures found at the ancient Sikachi-Alyan petroglyphs. Lots of pot parts and spearheads - some dating, reportedly, from 30,000 years ago. We particularly like the mural of hunters sending spears into a thick-lashed, very submissive seal.

Opposite the tower is a statue of Count Nikolai Muravyov-Amursky.

Regional History Museum
Four of Khabarovsk's museums - Regional History Museum, Military Museum, Archaeology Museum and Far Eastern Art Museum - are bunched together in impressive century-old buildings. One of the Far East's best attractions, the Regional History Museum earns it rubles with six well laid-out halls in an evocative 1894 red-brick building. Highlights are many, particularly a far better than average look into native cultures, including eerie larger-than-life-size spear-toting wooden figurines.
