Kletsk. Museum of the History of Kletchina.

In the historical center of the town of Kletsk there is a regional museum of local lore called the Museum of the History of Kletchina. Immediately after the Great Patriotic War, local history enthusiasts began collecting historical exhibits and artifacts. Schoolchildren from the "Young Local Historian" circle joined the collection of materials.


          Since 1961, the first museum exhibition has been operating in the Kletsk school. Soon, construction of a separate building for a museum began near the school. An example was the hunting lodge from the Rumyantsev–Paskevich palace and Park complex in Gomel.


         In 1979, the museum began operating in a separate building and the museum received state status. Since 2005, the museum has been called the "Museum of the History of Kletchina". The museum studies the history of the city and the region from the ancient period to the present day. There are collections for today: archeology, printed publications, numismatics, photographic documents and others.


          The archaeological collection includes an 11th-century iron scribe, a 12th-century griffin ring, and 16th–18th-century tiles. A unique Byzantine amphora from the 12th century. The oldest exhibit in the 'Documents' collection is an authentic letter from King Augustus II in 1746.


        A lot of material has been collected on the period of the Polish state in 1921-1939 and during the Great Patriotic War.
