Aldan Maadyr National Museum, National museum in Kyzyl, Russia.

The Aldan Maadyr National Museum is a cultural institution in Kyzyl housing regional artifacts, traditional garments, and archaeological discoveries from the Republic of Tuva. The building incorporates elements of Tuvan design and presents an overview of how people in the region lived across different periods.

The museum was officially founded on 13 May 1929 as the State Museum of the Tuvan People's Republic, with Vladimir Yermolayev as its first director. On 26 March 1942 it was named after the Aldan Maadyr, the 60 heroes who rose against feudal oppression in 1883–1885. A new three-storey building opened on 7 February 2008.

The museum displays traditional musical instruments, ceremonial ornaments, and everyday items from Tuvan communities that reveal how people here celebrated special occasions and lived their daily lives. These objects serve as windows into the customs and values of the local population.

The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages and offers educational programs for different age groups. Visitors should check opening hours in advance and allow enough time to explore the exhibitions at a comfortable pace.

The museum's name honours the 60 heroes of the 1883–1885 uprising against feudal rule, and its Arzhaan-2 collection travelled to Berlin, Hamburg and Munich in 2007–2008 for the exhibition "Under the Sign of the Golden Griffin". The new three-storey building opened on 7 February 2008.
