Museum of the History of Buryatia

The Museum of the History of Buryatia displays over 100,000 artifacts including traditional clothing, tools, and religious items across multiple exhibition halls.

Founded in 1923 as the Pribaikalye Study Society museum, the institution evolved from an ethnographic museum to become the main historical repository of Buryatia.

The third floor houses an extensive Buddhist art collection featuring ceremonial objects and artworks that endured through the changes of the Soviet period.

Located in a former college building, the museum maintains several departments including an archive, science library, and specialized curatorial teams for collection management.

The museum collection contains 57,577 rare items documenting the traditions and daily life of indigenous Buryat communities throughout different historical periods.
