In 1908-1910 in city center on the Market square a well-known architect A.Krjachkov built the City trading center, called to become the main administrative and trading building of Novonikolaevsk.
The building is the sample of architecture of a modernist style and till now is one of the sights defining appearance of a city. Today the building of the former Trading center belongs to Novosibirsk museum of local lore.
The museum was formed right after civil war in 1920, and consisted of two expositions – astronomical and geological. Names and museum subjects some times changed during its development till in 1937 the present name was fixed. From 1925 to 1987 the museum was in the former house of a merchant F.Mashtakov (a corner of Red Avenue and Sverdlov Street). In 1987 the museum occupied a building of the former Trading center after its serious repair.
Novosibirsk museum of local lore consists today of 2 departments: history and nature. History department shows history since ancient times up to now. The special place is given to expositions devoted to city history. Some exhibits are unique, for example, a collection of cult subjects, national suits or a collection of coins and bills. Nature department can also impress visitors, for example, with a paleontology collection or a collection of exotic fishes. The museum funds today include about 250 thousand units, many of which are unique.
