Description

  • The mansion was built in 1885 - 1905 at the expense of the local merchant Abram Barsky, designed by architect Alexander Lyshnevsky. The overall style of the building is modern, but there are also elements of eclecticism. The interior was extremely sophisticated and decorated in Baroque style.

The facade of the house above is decorated with mascarons that reflect the symbols of day and night. They are between curved like shoots of plants, with carved windows.

Floral ornaments with elegant motifs of flowering and fading lotuses and lilies descend to the base of the plinth. Beneath the windows are bas-reliefs depicting the Bird-eating Serpent, and the middle of the ornamental compositions is depicted with owls with wings outstretched. Above the front door is a jellyfish mask - a symbol of fatum, destination, destiny.

HISTORY

  • Construction of the mansion was completed in 1905, it was a private house commissioned by the merchant of the first Guild of Abram David Barsky.

In 1929, the Bar Museum moved to the Museum of Local History, which began its history in 1883 - when he was still in a real school.

After moving to the mansion, the status of the museum changed - it became a district, and 10 years after the formation of the Kirovograd region was renamed into a regional museum.
According to another source, the museum became a local lore only in 1938, so he was given a nice big room - Barsky's mansion on Dvortsova Street.
During the Great Patriotic War, the museum was plundered, at which time it lost more than 10,000 exhibits. But already in 1946, it was restored and it has already received visitors.
Today there are more than 80 thousand museum objects in the museum's fund, which are related to the history and nature of the region.
