Музеи и театры в Ашхабаде

Culture & Arts

Ashgabat’s cultural scene is defined by monumental white-marble architecture and state-funded institutions. This collection includes the National Museum, which preserves archaeological artifacts from Silk Road sites like Nisa and Merv, and the Museum of Fine Arts. The city’s performing arts are centered around the iconic saucer-shaped Turkmenistan State Circus and various specialized venues, ranging from the Pushkin Russian Dramatic Theater to the Mukam Palace, the city's primary hall for symphonic and folk music.
