Museum sights in Tomsk

  1. A

    Oppression Museum

    The gloomy 1898 brick building is supposedly a haunted former school. Closed following the murder of a pupil, it later became the prison for the cruel NKVD (proto-KGB). The building’s eerie dungeon is now a memorable Oppression Museum. Tours are recommended but are only in Russian. Failing that you can just wander round yourself. Look out for the stunning Gulag map, the system of Soviet labour camps depicted as an uncountable mass of red dots across the territory of the former USSR.

  2. Regional Museum

    The very modest Regional Museum has a few Atashev furnishings.
