Kyrgyz State Historical Museum, History museum in Ala-Too Square, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

The Kyrgyz State Historical Museum houses over 80,000 artifacts spanning from prehistoric times to modern era, including archaeological finds, traditional textiles, ancient coins, and ethnographic objects that chronicle the evolution of Kyrgyz society and its nomadic heritage.

Founded on 9 December 1925 as Kyrgyzstan's first scientific institution, the museum opened its first exhibition on 5 March 1927. It was renamed the Museum of Local Lore in 1933, split into a nature museum and a history museum in 1943, and received the title State Historical Museum in 1954. The present building, designed by S. Abyshev, R. Asylbekov, A. Kudelya, V. Ivanov and M. Satybaldiev, was completed in 1984 for the Lenin Museum branch and reopened on 20 November 2021 after repairs begun in 2016.

The museum showcases traditional Kyrgyz nomadic culture through displays of felt products, embroidered clothing, horse harnesses, musical instruments, and wooden crafts that reflect the artistic traditions and daily life practices of Kyrgyz communities from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The museum faces Ala-Too Square beside the government house, in the building with the recessed columned portico and the red banner bearing a white crescent and star. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 to 18:00 in summer and 10:00 to 17:00 in winter; the phone is +996 (312) 62-60-90.

The museum's collection grew from the first scientific institution of Kyrgyzstan, founded on 9 December 1925; its first exhibition opened on 5 March 1927. Today the main fund holds 44,000 items out of roughly 90,000 exhibits in total, displayed across 8,000 square metres near the government house on Ala-Too Square.
