The Museum of History of Science and Technology of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research is the center, which aims to educate the general public in the field of nuclear physics, elementary particle physics and the development of public interest in the activities of JINR and basic research in nuclear physics in general.

Our museum was established in 1993 to preserve the history of the Institute in museum exhibits.

The Museum is the member of the Association of scientific and technical museums of the Russian Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM).

Museum currently occupies four halls: - hall of history, - hall of new projects, - lectorium, - classlab.

The museum holds a regular historical and scientific seminar within which a series of lectures "The History of Discoveries - the Authors speak" and "Personalities of scientific Dubna" are organized. These series of lectures are designed to personalize the history and comprehend the contribution of the JINR in the development of world science.

The museum is not confined to a limited exposition premises, and goes to schools. Museum practices active assistance to municipal schools in conducting scientific conferences in physics and history of science. For example, the museum has presented to the school materials related to the anniversary of D. Mendeleev and D. Blokhintsev and helped with the organization of scientific conferences devoted to these outstanding scientists.
