Museum in Kyrgyzstan. Karakol Regional History Museum, has displays on petroglyphs from a cave at AK Chunkur; Photos of metalwork dating from 5th-3rd century BCE found in burial mounds (kurgan) at Barskoon; a few balbals (stone heads - burial marks) outside. There is very little labelling on anything ancient or archaeological. There is a general map of ancient sites around Issyk Kol including petroglyphs and burial mounds.

The museum has a good collections of taxidermy, regional costumes, horse tack, 19th-20th century history and scientific exploration going upto to the end of the Soviet Union.

There is some limited and brief labelling in English (2008) and more comprehensive labelling in Russian.
