The Museum of Local Lore is the largest museum in the Transcarpathian region. The museum was founded on 20.06.1945 in the city of Uzhgorod. At that time, it was called the Folk Museum of Transcarpathian Ukraine and was housed in 17 rooms of the former zupanat. The museum included departments of ethnography, nature, and social construction. In June 1946, the People’s Museum was reorganised into a historical and local history museum and moved to the Uzhgorod Fortress in March-April 1947. At that time, there were 10,000 exhibits. Today, the museum has over 133,000 exhibits.
