Aldan-Maadyr Museum

О музее

On March 4, 1991, a branch of the National Museum of the Republic of Tuva, named after this locality, was opened in the village of Aldan-Maadyr in the Sut-Kholsky District. The basis of its exposition consisted of materials collected by local schoolchildren-local historians and village activists. In 1995 a new building was constructed, and in December an exhibition was opened there, divided into four halls. The first presents Tuvan ethnography; the second — “The Uprising of the 60 Bogatyrs (1883–1886)”; the third — the history of war and labor veterans, Heroes of Socialist Labour, internationalist soldiers, repressed persons and other distinguished residents of the Sut-Kholsky kozhuun. The fourth hall features exhibitions about the region’s creative people, local decorative and applied arts, and historical events. In addition, the museum is continually involved in the protection of historical and cultural monuments and participates in sumon (rural municipality), kozhuun (district) and republican events.
