LGPU Stone image

The museum displays a collection of medieval stone figures representing human forms, carved from limestone and sandstone, within a landscaped park setting.

The museum, established in 1974, preserves stone monuments created by Polovtsian tribes who inhabited Eastern European steppes between the 8th and 13th centuries.

The stone babas collection reflects burial traditions and artistic practices of nomadic tribes through detailed representations of clothing, weapons, and ceremonial objects.

The museum maintains regular opening hours, offering guided tours in multiple languages and educational programs focused on Eastern European archaeological heritage.

Each stone figure in the collection contains specific markings and symbols that archaeologists use to determine the social status of individuals in medieval societies.
