Museum history
In 1977, the City Executive Committee of Nakhodka made a decision to open a history museum. The decision was consolidated by the Order of the Department of Culture of the Primorsky Regional Executive Committee No. 2 dated January 23, 1978, Vladivostok "On the opening of branches of the Museum of Local Lore. VK. Arsenyev in the cities of Nakhodka, Partizansk, Dalnerechensk ". Raisa Nurievna Pautova became the first director of the Museum of the History of Nakhodka. The building for the museum was chosen by the head of the culture department of the Nakhodka city executive committee S.I. Arpishkina. It was a 12-apartment residential building at 6 Vladivostokskaya Street.
A room with stove heating, without sewerage and running water, in the basement with a shoemaker's workshop, built in 1949-1950. The choice of the house was not accidental: here, in the "old" center of the city, a single cultural complex was created - next to the Children's Music School, the Priboi children's cinema, the Seamen's Palace of Culture, and two libraries.
Since 1978, the building was simultaneously reconstructed for the opening of the museum and the collection of future exhibits. Since everything that was collected should have been described and saved, the director and the only employee of the museum, R.N. Pautova, were allocated a table and a wardrobe in the passage room, where the management and accounting department of the city park of culture and recreation were located. In the second half of 1978, the administration of the regional museum allocated funds for two staff units: a senior researcher and a museum clerk (caretaker).
The reconstruction of the house was carried out by the Nakhodka Construction Department, under the command of A.S. Slabinsky and foreman T.I. Kulakova. The administration and party leaders of the city also took part in the creation of the museum. All city authorities, heads of enterprises, residents of the city treated with great attention, interest and goodwill to the creation of the museum.
The exposition equipment - showcases, podiums - were produced at two factories: NSRZ (director V. Malakhovsky), and PSRZ (director V. Nebello). The author of the first art project of the museum was G.V. Prikhodko.
