Bashkortostan National Museum

Ufa


Housed in a renovated art-nouveau building, this museum is spread over two floors with thousands of exhibits spanning culture, ethnography, history and the natural environment. The exhibits on Bashkir history, including examples of yurt life, are the most interesting; all descriptions are in Russian. Walk a few minutes south along ul Lenina from the Trading Arcade to ul Pushkina.
