The Brody Museum of History and Local Lore is a museum in Brody city, Ukraine that was founded in 2001.
Museums in former Brody Raion have old traditions. Those traditions are found in the collections of the Pidhirtsi Castle (the 17th-18th centuries), the collections of Count Vladimir Dzedushyckiy at his estate in the village of Penyaki (the end of the 19th century), a private museum of pictures and ancient furniture of a castle palace proprietress in Brody, Countess Zhyshchevska (the beginning of 20th century), and others. Unfortunately, as a result of military activities and social cataclysms, those collections were nebulized to different cities and museums of Ukraine and other countries. A lot of priceless artifacts were lost beyond retrieval.
The first district museum in Brody (district, meaning raion or regional) was created at the end of the 1950s. It was a one-story house on the street of Velyki Filvarky. Collections of numismatists, plain weapons, ceremonial objects, saved in the museum, document the 19th to the beginning of the 20th century ethnography of region. At the end of the 1960s to the beginning of the 1970s, however, the exhibition was closed down and a considerable part of the exhibits disappeared. Soon, the construction of a musical school began in the place of the museum.

The opening of the new Brody Raion Museum that took place in September 1984 fell within the framework of celebrating the 900th anniversary of the first written reference of the Brody settlement. At first the establishment operated as a folk museum, and from April 1, 1991, became a department of the Lviv Historical Museum.
