Музей історії та етнографії кримських караїмів імені С. І. Кушуль

The museum dedicated to Karaite history and ethnography in Yevpatoria holds objects that tell the story of this community's way of life. The collection includes traditional clothing, household goods, furniture, religious items, and handwritten texts spanning several centuries.

The museum was established in the 1990s to preserve knowledge about the Karaites after this community had received little attention for a long time. Its founder worked to gather materials so that the memory of their history and culture would survive for future generations.

The museum reflects the values and daily life of the Karaite community, a distinct ethnic group with their own customs and beliefs. You can see how they expressed their identity through clothing, household items, and the objects used in their religious and family ceremonies.

The museum is located in Yevpatoria and welcomes visitors during regular operating days throughout the week. Plan your visit to allow enough time to walk through the different sections and examine the objects at a comfortable pace.

The collection includes rare printed prayer books and handwritten religious documents going back several centuries, showing how the community preserved its traditions. These valuable texts offer insight into the religious practices and daily life of a community that has often been overlooked by history.
