About museum

Sara Sadykova Museum was opened in June 1992 in a solemn ceremony attended by the Deputy Minister of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan M. T. Nizamiev and a large group of figures from literature and the arts, including poets M. Khusain, F. Safin, G. Zaynashova, actors M. Galiev, L. Khasanova, M. and T. Akhmetov, A. Aidarskaya and others. The historical section of the museum's exhibition is represented by ethnographic and numismatic items, photographs and personal belongings of fellow villagers. The oldest exhibits of the museum are a tusk and other mammoth bone fragments found in 1906 during works to deepen the lake bed. Notable items of Tatar everyday life include antique spindles, samovars, mortars, washboards, forge bellows, Tatar headdresses, jewelry, and handwoven towels from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries. The exhibition also reflects the periods of the collective farm's formation and development, events of the Great Patriotic War and the modern history of the village.
