karaganda regional museum

Situated in the centre of the city of Karaganda, this small museum is acceptably well-organised and covers the full spectrum of local interest from anthropological and natural history to cultural, social and development of the city and region. The early part of the last century was its darkest hour and this is truthfully represented with a fine history of the Stalin 'Gulag' period, of local significance because of Karlag labour camp which finally closed in 1953. Karaganda citizens are legacy to this period with many cosmopolitan names making up the current populace, especially German. The museum concludes with information about the present day Republic. The displays are well done although the building itself is somewhat austere, particularly inside. Entry fee is modest and well worth the cost. Attendants ensure that you follow the right 'path' through the displays.
