Полтавський краєзнавчий музей імені Василя Кричевського розміщений у колишній будівлі присутніх місць губернського земства.

Будівлю губернського земства було збудовано архітектором Василем Кричевським у стилі модерн з елементами українського народного стилю (цей факт викликав невдоволення імператора Миколи II). Внутрішній розпис виконали видатні художники Сергій Васильківський та Микола Самокиш. Фасад прикрашають герби повітових міст губернії.

Основу експозиції краєзнавчого музею в Полтаві заклав в 1891 році вчений Віктор Докучаєв. Сьогодні в 40 музейних залах та сховищах знаходиться понад 300 тисяч експонатів. Серед раритетів - давньоєгипетська колекція, твори античного та східного мистецтва, козацькі реліквії.
