Home of the "Siberian Ice Maiden" or "Ukok Princess," a mummy of the Pazyryk culture (6th and 2nd centuries BCE.) The discovery and excavation of her kurgen tomb was among the most significant Russian archaeological findings of the 20th century. SINCE MY FIRST VISIT TO THE MUSEUM IN 2016 THE REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED AND NO PHOTOGRAPHY IS PERMITTED IN THE UKOK PRINCESS SECTION OF THE MUSEUM NOW. December 2018
Controversy followed the removal and holding of the remains, as well as the reconstruction of her face based on the skull - one which emphasized European ethnic traits.
With four major sections, the collections include paleontology, archaeology, ethnology, works of fine and decorative arts, ancient manuscripts and XVII - XX centuries, documents and photographs on the history of Altai XIX - XX centuries, and specimens of flora and fauna, mineral collection. Address: 46, Gurkina-Choros, Altaysk-Gorno.
Note: Amazing Tattoos Covered Siberian Mummy.
