The Idnakar Center of History and Culture of the Udmurt Republic is the only museum-reserve in the region and the adjacent territories. The museum prioritizes the preservation, museumification and presentation of the ancient archaeological complex.
The Idnakar hillfort is positioned as a center of the ancestral tribes of modern Udmurts and an important cultural landmark of all Finno-Ugric tribes.
The museum’s collections contain unique archaeological finds made on the territories of the significant sites of the Cheptsa River basin. They include tools, household items, weapons, jewelry and extant fragments that help to envision the ancient culture. The exhibits cover the period of the Polom and Chepetsk cultures — from the 5th to the 13th centuries.
