Museo Ajty de conocimiento local, Local history museum in Akhty, Russia.

The Akhty Museum is a cultural institution in the Dagestan region of Russia that houses an extensive collection of artifacts and specimens. The exhibits include paleontological materials, minerals, traditional household objects, and reconstructed workshops such as a coppersmith's workshop, a mountain dwelling, and a bakery.

In the 1930s the exemplary Akhty secondary school No. 1 took second place in an all-Union competition, prompting its director Nurudin Daglarov to create a school museum. In 1937 the exhibits moved into the building of the Akhty Juma Mosque, then used as collective-farm warehouses, and the collection became Dagestan's second museum after Makhachkala's. Daglarov directed it for 25 years, followed by his son Fikret in 1963 and grandson Akhmed in 1991, when the mosque was returned and the museum moved to the former district Communist Party committee building.

The ethnographic collection displays traditional clothing, ceremonial objects, and handwoven carpets that reflect the craftsmanship of local communities. You can observe how textiles and metalwork were made and used in the mountain settlements of the region.

The museum occupies two floors of the former district Communist Party committee building, with ten halls, three storage rooms, and exhibits also in the corridors and lobby. Tours start in the first hall on the ground floor and end in the cultural hall on the second floor. Funding shortages have left many items in storage, so not all of the 12,000 exhibits are on display.

A dedicated section honors local residents who served in World War II, displaying their personal documents, medals, and archives from that period. This collection tells the stories of people from the town who participated in the conflict.
