Museum in Kyrgyzstan

Ala-Too Square, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

This used to be the Lenin Museum and still has a whole floor dedicated to him. Another floor displays recent state gifts, while there is also a floor displaying Kyrgyz History from the Neolithic onwards.

Most labelling in the museum is in Russian, although there are a few labels in English.

Displays include petroglyph's at Saimaluu Tash (3000-2000 BCE), and finds from the Ketmen-Tube Valley (2nd-4th Century CE). Judging from painted pictures on the walls there also appears to be stone circles, stone rows and single menhirs in Kyrgyzstan.

Outside the museum on the eastern side there are a number of stone Balbals – which are carved stone figures used to mark burial sites dating from 6th-10th Century CE.
