HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM
The forming of the Khabarovsk Regional Lore Museum is
connected with the name of the
first Head of the Priamursky department of the Imperial Russian Geographical
Society (PDIRGS) governor-general N. I. Grodekov. Thanks to his vast knowledges,
energy, "ardent love to the museum study" the library and the
museum with natural-historical and art collections were established by
the PDIRGS. From 1902 till 1922 the museum had the name of N.I. Grodekov
"true leader and inspirer" of the museum study in the Russian
Far East.
In the year of the 100 years anniversary of the museum 1994 - the museum
was returned the name of N.I. Grodekov the honored citizen of Khabarovsk,
the first Head of PDIRGS, the governor-general of the Priamursky Territory,
the explorer and the active creator of the museum reserves.
Khabarovsk Regional Lore Museum was opened on the
initiative of the Priamursky department of the Imperial Russian Geographical
Society (PDIRGS) in April, 19, 1894. By the beginning of the XXth century
the Grodekov museum "attracted the attention of all donators"
in Khabarovsk and became the head museum in the Priamursky Territory.
Its collections were exposed in the Russian and international exhibitions
in Novgorod, Kazan, Chicago and Paris. V.K. Arsenyev, the famous traveller,
scientist and writer, the important museum figure, had been heading the
Khabarovsk Regional Lore Museum for more than 10 years (1910-1919 and
1924-1925 ). For that period the museum became the centre of lore studies
in the Territory. In 2000 the Khabarovsk Regional Lore
Museum has been given the status of the scientific institution and the
title "The best museum of the year 2000". The museum is a member
of the Russian Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM).
