Founded in 1893, the L’viv Historical Museum is primarily known for its archaeological materials, as well as tools, coins, medals, weapons, and other artifacts. It also has remarkable manuscript holdings that are an outgrowth and consolidation of holdings from several earlier museums. The present collection includes some 200 mostly Latin and Slavonic manuscripts, as well as three Armenian manuscripts and one Arabic. Its oldest manuscript is a 12th century Apostolos (Letters of Saint Paul and other apostles) in Old Church Slavonic. Learn more about the L’viv Historical Museum here.
