The Regional Museum is located in the ancestral house of British actor Peter Ustinov, who was descended from a local merchant’s family. There’s an exhibition on Volga Germans – which dodges uncomfortable issues such as the deportation – and a plane in which Gagarin learned to fly. Descriptions are in Russian only.
