University sights in Tomsk

  1. Tomsk University

    The classically colonnaded main buildings of the Tomsk University lie in resplendently leafy grounds, giving Tomsk the soubriquet 'Oxford of Siberia'. Tomsk is one of the most enjoyable cities in Siberia and has flourished in recent times as a university city and now has half a dozen major academic establishments hence the youthful, intellectual atmosphere during term time. Tucked away in unmarked rooms, Tomsk University hosts several quietly intriguing museums covering zoology and ethnography.
