Mary Provincial Regional and History Museum, Regional history museum in Mary, Turkmenistan.
The three-story marble building houses six exhibition halls spread across 4,000 square meters of space displaying over 40,000 regional artifacts.
The museum, established in 1968 as Mary Historical and Revolutionary Museum, relocated to its current white marble palace in 2008 following an 18-million-dollar construction.
The ethnography section presents traditional Turkmen life through jewelry, carpets, a white yurt installation, and silver artifacts from different historical periods.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, with English-speaking guides available upon advance reservation.
The archaeological collection features a third-millennium BC tabernacle from Gonur and bronze figurines of Zoroastrian deities discovered in ancient Margiana.
