Residents of Krasnodar believe that every tourist who comes to their city should visit the History and Archeology Culture Preserve named after E.D. Felitsyn to plunge into the history of the Krasnodar Krai. This museum was initially named the "Military Ethnographic and Natural History Museum" and was founded in 1897. It became the "history and archaeology" museum only in 1930 and an object of federal significance even later. It was founded by a very extraordinary person, Felitsyn, who preferred to study traditional scientific literature "in the bosom of nature, in the real world". The archaeologist put his love for the nature and culture of his native land into the creation of the museum. Thanks to the Felitsyn followers, the museum survived the war and continued its work. Today, it occupies one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, the merchants Bogarsukovs' house. This architectural monument, whose beauty fascinates tourists, is a two-story house made in a single architectural style and richly decorated. The museum itself has permanent and temporary exhibitions that immerse visitors in the history and culture of the Kuban. These exhibitions help tourists to discover the diversity of nature of the Kuban and the historical past of the local people. In winter, the Krasnodar Museum offers a children's New Year's fairy tale and a collection of swords and sabers dating back to the Russian Empire. The museum often hosts interactive exhibitions that impress everyone. By using 3D technologies, the museum immerses visitors in the atmosphere of the 19th century, tells them about the life of that time, and shows various household items. As a rule, lovers of ancient history enjoy the exhibition with the intriguing name "Secrets of Stone Sculpture", where they can learn the history of the Kuban starting from the Bronze Age and ending with the 18th-19th centuries. The exhibition displays a collection of tombstones, sculptures, and architectural details. The museum houses many more exhibitions dedicated to various historical topics: the Great Patriotic War (the French invasion of Russia), the ancient past of the Kuban, etc.
