General information about Kharkiv Historical Museum is named after Mykola Sumtsov (Kharkiv)

The Kharkiv Historical Museum is named after Mykola Sumtsov, a Ukrainian folklorist, ethnographer, literary critic and public figure.

It was on his initiative that the Museum of Slobidska Ukraine named after Hryhoriy Skovoroda was created in Kharkiv in 1920, which is where the history of the current museum began.

In Soviet times, the museum was located in the premises of the Holy Intercession Monastery, but in 2003 it finally moved to the building of the former pawnshop, built in 1908-1912 according to the project of architect Boris Kornienko. During the reconstruction in 2021, a glass pavilion was added to it.

During the reconstruction in 2021, a glass pavilion was added to it.

Currently, the stock collection of the Kharkiv Historical Museum includes more than 330,000 items. Archaeological finds from the excavations of Bronze Age settlements, a set of objects from the Ancient Rus period from the Donetsk settlement of the XI-XII centuries, numismatic collections, ethnographic collections, collections of weapons, flags, etc. are collected in four departments. In particular, the only Ukrainian hetman flag of the 17th century, which belonged to Ivan Mazepa and two other Ukrainian hetmans, is presented. Another key exhibit is the "Kharkiv Fortress" diorama, which shows the appearance of the city in the 17th century.

The outdoor area displays military equipment, including the British Mark V heavy tank from the First World War and the Soviet T-34-85 from the Second World War. The nearby metro station "Historical Museum" was named in honor of the institution.

Харківський історичний музей носить ім'я українського фольклориста, етнографа і літературознавця та громадського діяча Миколи Сумцова.

Саме за його ініціативою у Харкові в 1920 році був створений Музей Слобідської України імені Григорія Сковороди, з якого почалася історія нинішнього музею.

За радянських часів музей розташовувався в приміщеннях Свято-Покровського монастиря, але в 2003 році остаточно переїхав у будівлю колишнього ломбарду, побудовану в 1908-1912 роках за проєктом архітектора Бориса Корнієнка. Під час реконструкції 2021 року до нього добудували скляний павільйон.

Зараз фондова колекція Харківського історичного музею імені Сумцова нараховує більше 330 тисяч предметів. У чотирьох відділах зібрано археологічні знахідки з розкопок поселень бронзової доби, ...

Зараз фондова колекція Харківського історичного музею імені Сумцова нараховує більше 330 тисяч предметів. У чотирьох відділах зібрано археологічні знахідки з розкопок поселень бронзової доби, комплект речей давньоруського періоду з Донецького городища ХІ-ХІІ століть, нумізматичні колекції, етнографічні збори, колекції зброї, прапорів тощо. Зокрема, представлено єдиний в Україні гетьманський прапор XVII століття, що належав Іванові Мазепі та ще двом українським гетьманам. Ще одним із ключових експонатів є діорама "Харківська фортеця", що демонструє вигляд міста у ХVII столітті.

На відкритому майданчику представлена військова техніка, зокрема британський важкий танк Mark V часів Першої світової війни та радянський Т-34-85 часів Другої світової війни. На честь закладу отримала назву розташована поблизу станція метро "Історичний музей".
