General information about Museum of Local Lore (House with Caryatids) (Sumy)

The former building of the county zemstvo is notable for its tower-like ledge on the facade, which rises above the main building and ends with a dome. On the pylons of the second floor there are four caryatids that support the balcony. O. Kuprin and V. Korolenko visited the board in different years. In 1905, the printing house and editorial offices of the first Sumy newspapers were located here. Today the premises are occupied by the Museum of Local Lore, founded in 1920. The exposition presents objects from archeological excavations of early Slavic and ancient Rus monuments, rare materials from the history and nature of Sumy region.

Колишня будівля повітової земської управи примітна баштовоподібним виступом на фасаді, який піднімається вище основної споруди та завершується куполом. На пілонах другого поверху встановлено чотири каріатиди, які підтримують балкон. Управу відвідували у різні роки О. Купрін та В. Короленко. В 1905 році тут розміщувалися друкарня та редакції перших сумських газет. Нині приміщення займає заснований у 1920 році краєзнавчий музей. В експозиції представлені предмети з археологічних розкопок ранньослов'янських та давньоруських пам'яток, рідкісні матеріали з історії та природи Сумщини.
