The Historical and Memorial Museum of Political Prisoners, a branch of the Ternopil Museum of Local Lore, was opened and consecrated on October 14, 1996. The exposition of the museum is located in 28 temporary detention cells of the former pre-trial detention center of the regional department of the NKVD-KGB. The exposition tells about the struggle of Ukrainian nationalists against the communist regime, the repressive methods of the Soviet secret services and the life of convicts in the Gulag camps. Visitors can see a punishment cell, a death cell, instruments of torture, clothing and household items of prisoners, models of insurgent dugouts, a Siberian concentration camp and a camp barracks, a wagon for transporting prisoners, photographs from the surviving archive of the UPA, the death mask of Stepan Bandera, materials about V. Chernovil and I. Slip and much more. In 2002, a memorial stele-obelisk was erected at the entrance to the museum.
