Uchinskaya district historical-ethnographic Museum named after Anatoly Khomyakov

In 1990, a historical and ethnographic Museum was opened in the Kondinsky district, which collected everything important about the culture of the Eastern Mansi. Few people know that the Konda river basin is the historical homeland of this people. First, the exhibits were collected by a resident of the village of Polovinka, Anatoly Khomyakov, who was keenly interested in the history of the region and dreamed that descendants would have the opportunity to study the culture of Mansi. When about a hundred items accumulated, a small Museum was formed with three exhibition halls. The name was given to him in honor of the vanished village of Ucina, which was once situated in Kondinskiy district. Now it is a large Park-Museum with an area of 3000 square meters, which has the status of a district. There are 36 monuments of ancient settlements located in the open air, and a large number of exhibits collected from local residents are concentrated in the halls. All items reveal the life and culture of the Eastern Mansi. In addition, educational programmes and interesting route for Hiking around the beautiful Park of "Uchina". The Museum is located in the village of Polovinka.
