The Esik State Historical and Cultural Reserve Museum, Archaeological museum in Esik, Kazakhstan
The museum complex spans 422 hectares and contains four exhibition halls displaying artifacts from the Scythian period through to the Middle Ages.
Archaeological excavations at this location revealed the remains of a Scythian warrior in 1969, leading to the establishment of the museum in 2010.
The collection includes an exact replica of the Golden Man, ancient weapons, ceramic vessels, and traditional jewelry that represent early nomadic societies.
Located 50 kilometers east of Almaty, the museum operates daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and offers guided tours in multiple languages.
The museum grounds contain more than 80 burial mounds and incorporate the ancient Scythian settlements of Orikti and Rakhat within its territory.
