Regional Museum

Eastern Siberia


Nizhneangarsk's Regional Museum chases the history of the region back to the 17th century and includes several Evenki exhibits. The museum often hosts performances by the local Evenki folklore collective Sinilga, which can be arranged through the Maryasov family in Severobaikalsk.
