Dagestan Aul Museum in Makhachkala

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

The original museum complex "Dagestan aul" (the full name of the Museum-Reserve is the ethnographic complex "Dagestan aul") It is located in the same building as the National Museum. He tells about the way of life, rituals and traditions of the peoples of Dagestan – Avars, Kunaks, Dargins, Laks, Nogais and many others. After all, if you don't know, today more than 17 nationalities live on the territory of Dagestan, and at least 14 of them originally inhabited these lands.

There is a small but very interesting and authentic exposition in 7 halls of the Dagestan Aul. The exhibition is based on traditional clothes, jewelry, carpets, weapons, dishes, tools and much more.

In many ways, the exhibits presented at the National Museum and the Dagestan Aul overlap, so it's up to you to decide which of the two to give preference. In our opinion, the National Museum is more suitable for a thoughtful acquaintance with the history and culture of the region, while the "Dagestan aul" is simpler and more spectacular, and may appeal even to children. At the same time, in one day you can explore both, adding to your knowledge of the culture of Dagestan. In addition to the main exposition, temporary exhibitions and cultural events are held here, and guides work.
