If you remember your past you have the future. Perm University remembers the past, its remarkable museums are the best evidence of it. The Museum of the University History is the youngest of them - it was founded only 24 years ago.

All the other museums are much older. Their origins go back to the first years of the University. Different donations and professors' collections marked the beginning of the museums. Now the students and the graduates of the University enrich them with new exhibits and this is a sound proof of a good university tradition.

The University museums do not only help to educate and bring up the generations of students, but also reflect the culture of the University and are part of the cultural heritage of Perm.
