Yakutsk Regional History Museum

A good place to delve deeper into Sakha culture, the Regional History Museum contains local minerals, information on the region’s first Russian settlers and a mammoth skeleton alongside the standard Soviet natural history and WWII exhibits. Outside, there’s a huge whale skeleton found in 1961, as well as the original museum building, a charming wooden structure full of traditional furnishings.
