This collection highlights the region's diverse heritage, featuring the Anokhin National Museum—home to the "Altai Princess"—and specialized museums dedicated to Old Believer traditions, Kazakh culture, and the Telengit people. Architectural landmarks include remote Orthodox hermitages, the Roerich Memorial House, and sacred Buddhist stupas, reflecting the intersection of shamanic, nomadic, and Christian influences.
