A
Regional Museum
Irkutsk’s pleasant, if fairly standard, Regional Museum is within a fancy 1870s brick building that formerly housed the Siberian Geographical Society, a club of Victorian-style gentlemen-explorers. The small gift shop is good for birch-bark boxes and jewellery made from purple chaorite, a unique Siberian mineral.

B
City History Museum
Small, far from central, but well presented, the City History Museum shows various eras through shop-window–style displays. Take bus 8, 11, 23 or 25, or trolleybus 8 or 10K to the ‘Muzey’ stop.
