Welcome to the historical heart of Tomsk, where the majestic building of the former Public Assembly stands — a real pearl of architectural heritage, filled with centuries-old history and incredible impressions.
This architectural monument, towering on Lenin Avenue, 50, is one of the most recognizable and popular sights of Tomsk. The building, which has existed for more than 120 years, surprises with its elegance and unique character.
Immediately after the October Revolution, the square in front of the building became an arena for new historical events. Originally intended for a Public meeting, the building became the home of the People's Club, then the House of the Red Army and, in the post—war years, the House of Officers. In 1995, it was recognized as a monument of federal significance.
The building, which has retained its beautiful style, became the property of the Tomsk region after many years of historical changes. In 2011, a new stage began when the Russian Ministry of Defense transferred it to the city of Tomsk, and in 2012 the city decided to change ownership.
