The modern exposition of the Korosten Museum of Local Lore was opened in 1987 in the premises of the former headquarters of the Korosten Fortress. Here is a history of the region from ancient times based on the results of archaeological research conducted in the 1990s.

Turansky, 1982), which recreates the picture of the arrival of the widowed princess of Kiev to the walls of the rebellious city.

The "Rock" facility in Korosten is a former secret underground command post of the Korosten fortified area №5, which was part of the so-called "Stalin Line". It was built in 1936 on the basis of a system of natural and artificial caves in the granite rock, on which in the VIII-XIII centuries. stood the ancient n city of Iskorosten. Also known as "Stalin's Bunker". In case of war, it was planned to command the South-Western Front. The object was not used for its intended purpose. In 1941, a detachment of 200 Red Army soldiers defended themselves against the Nazis for a week. In Soviet times, the facility remained under the control of the military, then was transferred to the civil defense system. All this time the equipment (ventilation system, water supply, autonomous power supply, communication) remains in working order. The seal of secrecy was lifted in 2005, and the efforts of enthusiasts began the creation of the military-historical museum complex "Rock", dedicated to the initial period of the Second World War. One of the probable three levels of corridors and caves has been investigated. Excursions are by prior arrangement.
