Novosibirsk State Ethnographic Museum

The main building of Novosibirsk State Museum of Local Lore is situated in the City Trade Corpus, a federal historical and cultural monument. Built in 1910 by architect A.D. Kryachkov, it features the rationalist-modern style. Its central element is a large two-story hall on the second floor with columns of the Corinthian order, each 7.4 meters high. Originally, the structure served as the city's main administrative center until 1917. On the first floor were commercial spaces while the second floor housed city administration and council offices.
