　　Housed in the splendid Atashev Palace, this modest museum has a 2500-year-old bear amulet and an interesting exhibit on the Great Tea Trail. But it's the building, commissioned in 1842 by the gold-mining entrepreneur Ivan Atashev, that's the main attraction. It was once used as a church, hence the incongruous steeple tower and wonderful organ hall.

Must-see attractions
Ploshchad Lenina
Tomsk
　　Central pl Lenina isn’t really a square so much as a jumbled collection of beautifully restored historic buildings interspersed with banal Soviet concrete lumps. The frustrated Lenin statue, now relegated to a traffic circle, points at the ugly concrete of the Drama Theatre, apparently demanding ‘build more like that one’....
University & Siberian Botanical Gardens
Tomsk
　　The classically colonnaded main buildings of the university lie in resplendently leafy grounds, giving Tomsk the sobriquet ‘Oxford of Siberia’. Most of the buildings themselves are closed to the public, but the grounds are open to all. However, the Siberian Botanical Gardens, at the southern edge of the grounds, are...
Memorial Museum
Tomsk
　　The gloomy basement of this former NKVD (proto-KGB) building is now a museum dedicated to the unspeakable horrors that took place here. Look out for the Gulag map, the system of Soviet labour camps depicted as an uncountable mass of red dots across the territory of the former USSR. 　　Prisoners...
WWII Memorial
Tomsk
　　A Tomsk landmark, this moving mother-and-son monument is at the very southern end of pr Lenina. The beautiful birch-tree park (Лагерный сад) here is a local favourite for strolls, not least for its fine views across the Tom River. ...

Chekhov Statue
Tomsk
　　On the riverbank, this cheeky Chekhov statue was sculpted in bronze for the 400th anniversary of the city’s founding. Rubbing its well-polished nose is said to bring good luck. ...
Resurrection Hill
Tomsk
　　This dimple-sized hill was the location of Tomsk’s original fortress, and the replica of its central wooden spasskaya bashnya (savior's tower), which stands here today, was built in 2004 for the city’s 400th anniversary celebrations. Next to the tower, the Tomsk Historical Museum has spouted its own wooden observation tower;...
Tomsk Historical Museum
Tomsk
　　Up on Resurrection Hill, this museum's moderately interesting collection of old artefacts, clothing and recreations of old homes is well-presented, with placards in English. Climb the observation tower and try to spot Tomsk's seven historic churches from the top. For R50 you can rent historical costumes for silly photo-ops. The...
