Galiya Kaybitskaya Museum

About museum

On October 29, 1998, a museum was opened in honor of the famous singer Galiya Kaybitskaya, the founder of the 'Mutygia' madrasa and his children. The museum displays the singer's personal belongings, books, family relics, audio cassettes, sheet music, and theatrical costumes. It also presents the history of the Kaybitskaya region at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries. Cultural and educational programs, master classes, and meetings with artists are held in the music salon. The museum's collection comprises 1,750 inventory units, which are continuously being added to. Ilyas Aidarov, Honored Artist of Russia and People's Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan, a direct grandson of Galiya Kaybitskaya, donated his collection of paintings to the museum. Thus, the museum serves as a monument to outstanding individuals and their achievements.
