Sightseeing in Omsk - what to see. Complete travel guide

There had been almost no Russians until the 16th century. The Turkic-speaking people mostly lived here. Only the conqueror of Siberia, Ermak, led the Russian people to these lands. They cultivated land as opposed to local hunters and herdsmen. In the 18th century, the Cossacks built boundary lines and fortresses and cultivated land here. At the same time, the defensive constructions of the first Omsk fortress fell into disrepair, so it was decided to build a new fortress.
Trade and especially export were actively developing. Omsk exported fish fur, leather, oil, and Siberian corn to foreign countries. Actually, the Revolution in 1917 brought to naught all the achievements of the pre-revolution period. Omsk was destroyed during the Civil war. The White Guard Movement was established here. In 1919, Omsk became the major headquarter of Admiral Kolchak. In the Soviet period, the city industry was actively developing. More attention was paid to the agricultural sector. Besides, many enterprises were transferred here, which was of benefit to Omsk. Today, it is quite a modern and big city in Siberia.

The real value of the city is the Vrubel Museum that occupies a very beautiful historical building. This art museum presents over 24 000 unique exhibits, including antiques. The building occupied by the museum was built at the end of the 19th century. Originally, it served as the governor’s palace. Today, the art museum is one of the largest in the region. Different themed exhibitions are regularly organized during the year.

The Museum of the Military Glory of Inhabitants of Omsk founded in 1985 is dedicated to the deeds of the Great Patriotic War. The museum occupies the spectacular post-war building. Now, you can see here different exhibits dedicated to the wartime. The notable Omsk inhabitants’ personal belongings, military weapons, historical documents, letters, and children’s toys - these are just some of the exhibits presented here.
