Kashin Museum of Local history is a museum of the city of Kashin, Tver region.

It is one of the branches of the Tver State United Museum (TSUM).

History of creating museum
Kashinsky Museum of Local Lore was founded in November 1918 and opened to the public on February 2, 1919. Initially, the museum was called the Historical and Archaeological Museum and was located in the building of the Town Duma. By the opening of the museum, its fund consisted of about 5,000 items.

Since 1936, the museum has been located in the Entrance-Jerusalem Church, built in the XVIII century. His collection was based on a collection of items by merchant I.Ya. Kunkin.

In 1992, a new exposition of the museum was created.

Exposition
The exposition, located on two floors of the temple, introduces the life of a provincial city of the XVIII — early XX centuries. It is built in such a way that visitors can visit a merchant's shop, a noble's drawing room, and a city street. Archived copy from October 7, 2021 on Wayback Machine.

The collection contains extensive photo panoramas of the old town of Kashin, captured by the famous photographer Vasily Kolotilshchikov (1868-1958).

The exhibition presents a whole gallery of merchant portraits (including I. T. Zhdanov, N. V. Terlikova) was created in the first half of the XIX century by local painters.

The museum has a collection of works by embroiderers, lace makers, potters and carvers. The museum's exhibits also allow us to trace the evolution of urban costume: embroidered shirts, satin sarafans with soulguards of the end of the XVIII century are replaced by strict suits with capes, women's hats, kokoshniks embroidered with pearls and gold threads, glasses and scarves.

Objects of carved art are represented in the collection of ladles, gingerbread boards, lamp hooks and candlesticks.

In one of the sections of the exposition there are icons of local writing, vestments, fabrics and other items of church use, samples of wooden and metal plastics, mother-of-pearl carvings. The gilded royal gates of the second half of the XVIII century depict the scene of the Annunciation. The religious history of the region, as well as the history of the creation of Kashinsky temples and the veneration of St. Anna Kashinskaya, are introduced to the documents of the exposition.

In the halls of the museum, applied art of the XVIII—XIX centuries is quite widely represented — things from merchant houses and noble estates. Many of them were in the Ustinovo estate owned by the Likhachevs. Presented in the complex are table clocks, bronze and marble candelabra, tapestries, furniture in the style of late classicism, largely recreating the interior of a noble living room of the XIX century. The museum has a large collection of porcelain. Sevres porcelain is adjacent to the Meissen products of the domestic factories of Kuznetsov, Gardner, Kornilov, Popov. Here you can see the unique decorative columns and countertops, on the porcelain medallions of which French artists David and Guyon painted subjects dedicated to Napoleon.
