In 2020 the museum will mark its 100th anniversary. It is its first centennial. The museum developed in Soviet times \u2013 in another state under a different ideology. Today inertia makes Ukraine\u2019s local history museums continue the working course formed several decades ago. How to move on? Today there\u2019s a choice of several directions \u2013 to become a museum or an entertainment place, a purely academic institution or choose the most difficult path of being a \u201cmuseotainment\u201d center prioritizing local history and showcasing all aspects of life in the area. Under such a scenario the museum is also supposed to become the center for all-round development equally of interest to children, youngsters and adults.<\/p>\n
