Archeology and Ethnography Museum in Ufa, Archaeological and ethnographic museum in Ufa, Russia.
The Archeology and Ethnography Museum in Ufa holds a collection of regional finds and objects spanning multiple time periods across its exhibition spaces. The galleries display everything from ancient discoveries to items that tell us how people lived in different eras.
The museum was founded in 1976 and opened to visitors in 1980 within a historic building that had stood for many decades. That building provided the space where regional discoveries were gathered and arranged for display.
The museum displays objects showing how Bashkir people and other groups from the South Urals lived and what traditions mattered to them. You can see clothing, tools, and household items that reveal their daily customs and ways.
The museum maintains regular opening hours and offers guided tours in multiple languages for individual visitors and groups. Visitors should plan to spend time looking carefully at the exhibitions and reading the information provided.
The museum holds the Chandar Slab, a large stone block with carved patterns found in 1999 that resembles an old map. These distinctive markings puzzle researchers even today about what they originally meant to the people who made them.
