The Museum of the History of Simferopol, the youngest in the Republic of Crimea, was founded nine years ago. Despite its youth, it can be proud of its exhibitions, most of which are dedicated to the life of the city. The creation of these exhibitions actively involved the residents of Simferopol, who donated paintings depicting city streets, historical documents, household items, pre-revolutionary leaflets and newspapers, relics from the Civil War and World War II, as well as old photographs taken in local photo studios.

The museum is located in a building with a rich history and interesting architecture in the city center. Previously, it was the estate of the scientist-florist Yevgeny Vasilyevich Vulf. In the early last century, there was a branch of an international bank and a society of art lovers. After the revolution, the building was nationalized and transferred to state services. In the post-war years, it housed the administration of the Crimean region and the I. Ya. Franko library.

In the museum's lobby, visitors can see portraits of famous Simferopol residents, a model of a guard booth, the city's coats of arms, and a historical reference about the building. The first hall is dedicated to the history of Simferopol from the late 18th to the early 20th century, including a photo reproduction of the engraving "View of Simferopol and Akmechet" from 1804.

The second hall presents materials about the Great Patriotic War, including the exhibition "Simferopol Residents and Simferopol during the Great Patriotic War," prepared for the 70th anniversary of victory. Here, one can see posters, drawings, documents, samples of Red Army equipment, as well as modern devices for demonstrating military technology and films.

This hall also contains rare exhibits, such as a Romanian helmet, materials from Crimean partisans, and a plan of Simferopol from 1943. The safe room preserves the history of the city's banks, including savings books and currency from the tsarist era.

The third hall is dedicated to postcards depicting the city from the 20th century, which were once sold in the shop of engineer Ivan Rudenko. The exhibition is complemented by photographs of buildings taken by Galina Kocherbitova and restorer Sergeeva.

The fourth hall tells about events in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989. The exhibition was created with the participation of the city’s Union of Veterans of Afghanistan and includes materials about the military conflict, "shuravi" equipment, a field telephone, and other exhibits.

The fifth hall is dedicated to events related to the rise of the Bolsheviks and contains historical materials and photographs. The sixth hall features works by local artists, while the seventh showcases the exhibition "Blooming Crimea." The eighth hall is dedicated to the architectural mosaic of Simferopol, and the ninth to the art project "The Land Where the Ussuri Taiga Meets the Sea of Japan."

The final hall, "Chernobyl. Pages of Memory," is dedicated to the Chernobyl disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. This permanent exhibition consists of two halls that tell about Pripyat, the disaster itself, and the heroism of the liquidators. The exhibits include documents, gas masks, dosimeters, and a model of the reactor. The exhibition was created with the participation of the Chernobyl Union of Ukraine.
