Baibol Rural Museum

The Baibol ethnic museum offers you artifacts of the ancient Kyrgyz civilization including family rarities of the medieval period and the beginning of Soviet Kyrgyzstan.

There are over 200 showpieces in the museum and many others are located in the Baibol ethno-compound premises. Its founder is Daniyar Abylaev - a young growing farmer who has been collecting Kyrgyz antiques in the Talas valley. After having founded the ethno-compound, Daniyar has decided to share his artistic sculptures and a collection of antiquities. This way the visitors can immerse themselves in the Kyrgyz nomadic civilization, its ancient culture, traditions, rites, and lifestyle.

The museum showcases Stone Age archeological finds, weapons, labor tools, petroglyphs, handmade antique yurt decorations, utensils, female jewelry, and clothes, horse harness, stones with runic writings, and various attributes of a nomadic life.

The Baibol Museum offers showpieces collected in the region which will surround you during your stay in the ethno-compound. This way you will touch the Antiquity, see local craftsmen who have kept secrets of their craft and transfered them from generation to generation.

We’re happy to share the ancient history of the nomadic civilization with you!
