State Museum of History and Culture of Karakalpakstan

The State Museum of History and Culture of Karakalpakstan contains over 65,000 exhibits divided into nature, archeology, ethnography, and modern history sections.

Founded in 1929 as a regional studies exhibition in Turtkul, the museum later moved to Nokis and grew into one of Central Asia's principal cultural institutions.

The ethnographic collection presents traditional Karakalpak items including folk costumes, jewelry, yurt decorations, carpets, musical instruments, and historical weapons.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with limited accessibility options for wheelchair users.

The museum houses the preserved remains of the last Turanian tiger, which local inhabitants killed in the Amu Darya delta during 1949.
