Lebap welaýatynyň Taryhy we ülkäni öwreniş muzeýi
About This Museum
You might not expect it, but tucked away on Niyazov Street is a place that holds the entire soul of the Lebap region. It’s more than just a museum; it’s a storyteller, with each hall whispering a different tale from our land's long history. From the rustle of ancient silk to the weight of a nomadic tribesman's amulet, you can feel the past come alive here. It’s where you truly grasp how the Amu Darya's waters have shaped everything for millennia.
Collection Highlights
Look for the stunning hand-woven carpets from Chardzhou, their dyes still vibrant after a century. Don't miss the hauntingly beautiful Bronze Age ceramics and the full-scale replica of a traditional Turkmen yurt, complete with felt textiles and copper coffee pots that look ready for use.
Visitor Information
It's right there on S.A. Niyazov Street in Turkmenabat—easy to find and well worth an afternoon of your time. The locals who run it are often happy to share stories you won't find on any plaque.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a classic example of late Soviet-era civic architecture, all clean lines and grand proportions, but softened with traditional Turkmen ornamental details carved around the entrance.
