From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Museum of the history of Borovichi city and Borovichi land[1] is one of the oldest museums in the Novgorod region of Russia. In 2016, it hosted more than 22,000 visitors. The museum was founded in May 1918 by the County Board of Education. It started as a collection of Zhukovskiy and Gogol. From 1926 to 1927, the museum was closed. In 1928 the museum reopened thanks to S.N. Porshnyakov(1889-1992) who became the first director.

The museum appeared on the collegium of the county department of public education in May 1918.[2] At its foundation, there was a collection of Zhukovskiy and Gogol, organized in 1910 at the real specialized school of Borovichi city. The first exposition was opened on 16 July 1921. The museum was named as "Borovichi museum of proletarian science, art, and industry in the name of Comrade Reppo". From 1926 to 1927, the museum was closed. Its revival is connected to the name of Sergey Nikolayevich Porshnyakov. From 1989, in a new building, there was an exhibition dedicated to the history of Borovichi city and its surroundings. In 2009, the museum changed its address.[2]
