A
Historical-Cultural Museum
With typical Soviet subtlety, a hole was blasted in the side of this sacred mountain into one of its many caves, and a grotesque sheet-metal front stuck on - a carbuncle now visible from great distances. Inside is a series of badly lit exhibits of potsherds, old masonry, rocks, bugs and mangy stuffed animals.

Historical Museum
The Historical Museum, built during the Osh 3000 celebrations, is the best of the three Historical Archaeological Museums. It's strong on local archaeology and ethnography but has little info in English. There are some great weapons, displayed as if caught up in mad whirlwind.

Historical Archaeological Museum Complex
Near Solomon's Throne are three museums collectively referred to as the Historical Archaeological Museum Complex, although don't expect the locals to recognise such a mouthful of English. All three keep the same hours.
