History
On January 12 (25), 1865, the Museum at the Society was opened for natural-historical research of the Yaroslavl province , the founder of which was Andrei Petrovsky, professor of natural history. In 1901, the Society was renamed Natural History, after which an extensive entomological collection was formed in the museum. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Natural History Museum was considered one of the largest provincial museums in Russia.
In 1895, at the Yaroslavl Provincial Scientific Archival Commission , the Treasury was created - a historical museum to study and protect the entire cultural and historical heritage of the Yaroslavl Territory. The museum's collection, which totaled 100 exhibits in 1895, increased to 12 thousand items in 1914.
In 1924, the city museums merged into a single Yaroslavl State Regional Museum. It includes the Historical and Archaeological Museum (the former Treasury), the Museum of Old Russian Art - an art gallery (opened December 5, 1919), a scientific library and a natural history museum. In 1928, the museum was subordinate to the Provincial Museum Administration. In 1929 it became known as the district, and in 1937 - the regional museum of local lore [1]
In the 1930s, the museum had three main areas: the study of the historical past, socialist construction, nature and the natural-productive forces of the region. In addition to the main ones, historical-revolutionary, anti-religious and polytechnical departments were created. In 1938, in the Yaroslavl Museum, the Institute of Museum of Local Lore Studies organized a demonstration department of socialist construction, on the example of which expositions were built in other museums of the country. The employees studied industrial enterprises, the history of the labor movement, the life of the village, the productive forces of the region, and conducted expeditionary work. Since 1934, the museum began to create circles for students. Museum employees gave lectures at enterprises, clubs and collective farms, and in the 1940s performed on the radio. Museum workers tried to open new museums: anti-religious in the Church of Elijah the Prophet (1938-1941), literary in the Church of the Savior on the City (1939-1940), and architectural in the church of Nikola Nadein (1939-1940) [1] .
In 1959, by decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR , the Yaroslav-Rostov Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve , located on the territory of the former Spassky Monastery, was organized on the basis of the Yaroslavl Regional and Rostov Local History Museums , the Regional Art Museum , the Nekrasov Museum-Estate in Karabikha . In addition to the monastery, the reserve included architectural monuments - the churches of Elijah the Prophet , John the Baptist , Nikola Nadein , John Chrysostom , later Christmas and Epiphany .
Since 1971, after the separation of the Rostov branch and the art department into independent museums, the museum became known as the Yaroslavl Historical and Architectural Museum-Reserve.
According to the museum’s own data, from 2000 to 2009 its annual income grew from 2 to 23 million rubles, and attendance from 49 to 59 thousand people. During this period, 2–2.5 thousand storage units were received annually in the museum [2] .
