Sybir Memorial Museum

About

The Sybir Memorial Museum is dedicated to people who, from the end of the 16th century until the middle of the 20th century, were enslaved and sent deep into Russia, and later the Soviet Union, as well as to those who went there voluntarily. We tell about prisoners of war, prisoners, exiles and deportees. We also talk about those who discovered Siberia before World War I and actively participated in the development of its vast areas. We combine the results of research and historians’ narrative with the memories of participants and witnesses of the events. We show great emotions hidden in seemingly ordinary objects, taking visitors to an extraordinary land — mysterious, beautiful, and at the same time cruel and ruthless Sybir
