Soltsy Local History Museum, Branch of the Municipal Cultural Institution “Center for Culture and Leisure”

Since 2006, the Soltsy Local History Museum has occupied a 19th-century architectural monument and served as a center of the town’s cultural life. Its exhibitions trace the history of the Soltsy area from ancient times. The core collection includes peasant and merchant household and ethnographic objects, Red Army and Wehrmacht weapons and equipment from World War II, archaeological finds, and jewelry of the 11th–17th centuries. The museum also holds a large collection of paintings by Soltsy artists and folk clay toys. Projects include “Wheel of History” and “Soltsy Clay Toy.” In 2021 the museum joined the Assembly of Peter the Great Museums of Russia.
