National Museum of the Udmurt Republic named after Kuzeby Gerd

The National Museum of the Udmurt Republic holds around 200,000 objects from the region, including archaeological finds, textiles, and everyday items from different periods. The displays are organized across multiple spaces and show the material history and way of life of the Udmurt people.

The museum was founded in 1920 and moved several times before settling in its current building. Its collection records the long history of the Udmurt people from early settlements to modern times.

The museum displays clothing, crafts, and religious objects that show how Udmurt people lived and still express their identity today. Visitors can see traditional techniques and patterns that remain part of local life.

The museum is located in central Izhevsk and can be reached easily by car or public transport. Plan to spend several hours here to explore the different exhibition areas thoroughly.

The museum operates conservation laboratories where staff work on artifacts dating back to the 17th century found throughout the region. This makes it an active center for research and preservation rather than just a display space.
