The permanent exhibition ‘Ethnic groups of Sayan-Altai’ is dedicated to the history and life of modern peoples living on the territory of the ancient southern Yenisey River valley. The exhibition is part of the ethnographic collection: the items were donated during the period of the late 19th — the early 20th centuries and reflect the life and culture of the indigenous inhabitants of the region — the Khakasses and Tuvans. The collection includes objects belonging to the local cultures of shamanism and Buddhism, as well as jewelry, hand tools, clothing, and horse tacks.
The museum houses the ethnic plaster dolls made especially for the 1900 Paris Exposition. The museum received a silver medal for its collections. Rare figurines and sacred attributes of shamanism and Buddhism are also on display, including tambourines, amulets, a tanka with the White Elder’s image, a Lungta flag and many others.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
