                               The Pskov Historical,
                       architectural and Fine Arts Museum.
       The Pskov Museum is located at 7 Nekrasov Street. The museum
was founded in its present form in 1979. It occupies three buildings - the
17 th century Pogankin house, a building in the «moderne» style from the
early part of this century (the former industrial arts school), and a modern
building dating from 1978. The exhibits in each building conform more or
less to the buildings themselves.
       The original founding date of the museum is regarded as 1876. The
museum was public and fulfilled an educational purpose. After the Octo-
ber Revolution the museum’s collections expanded greatly. During the
Second World War the museum suffered great losses which have now
been made up.
       The museum’s basic collection includes more than 160.000 items
at present. The museum’s exhibition halls show the history of Pskov and
its surrounding areas in the distant past and more recent times, Pskov’s
arts and crafts, the painting of ancient Pskov in the 18 th, 19 th, and 20 th
centuries, as well as the art of today. The museum also possesses an An-
cient Manuscripts division and a library.
