Pervomaiskyi Local History Museum

On the initiative of P. V. Kharlampovych, a local history museum was opened in 1927 in Pervomaisk. By the beginning of World War II, the museum’s collection numbered 20 thousand exhibits, including a collection of unique items found during archaeological excavations from 1927 to 1932. However, due to the German occupation, the unique historical heritage could not be preserved. The museum was closed, and some of its exhibits were destroyed. Only in 1972, thanks to a group of enthusiast local historians, the local history museum was reopened. Thanks to the efforts of local residents, a new museum collection was quickly assembled. In 1985, the museum received a new building and became a branch of the Mykolaiv Regional Museum of Local History.
