  There is a lot to be your interested in the Karakol Historical Museum. Karakol's historical Russian houses are very interesting.

  Çok güzel bir müze.Özellikle doldurulmuş hayvanların sergilendiği bölüm çok ilginç.Mutlaka gezilmeli.
  A nice museum, especially the region's flora and fauna part is very interesting.

  I was seriously impressed with the exhibition of Ella Maillart's photography. A great slice of 1930s Central Asia. The rest of the museum is well done. But the Maillart exhibit makes the museum a must see.

  About the museum
  This small museum was the pre-revolutionary summer home of the Iliana merchant family. During the turbulent years of 1918-20 the building earned its socialist stripes as headquarters of the Regional Revolutionary Committee, and was subsequently transformed into a museum by order of the Soviet Council of Ministers in 1948. Scythian artifacts include enormous bronze pots retrieved from Lake Issyk-Kul, displayed alongside exhibits on petroglyphs in the area. Besides a comprehensive display of traditional Kyrgyz punched leatherwork, felt wall hangings and woven yurt decorations, the museum has a colorful collection of national costumes, examples of finely worked silver jewellery and a good exhibition of Kyrgyz applied art. One hall covers the region's flora and fauna - much of which is endangered and listed in the 'Red Book' (a Soviet inventory of protected species). The museum is also worth visiting to gain a Soviet perspective of history in the region. A couple of walls relating to Kyrgyz union with Russia and the subsequent revolution are now historical artifacts in themselves.
