A cool and really interesting museum, partly open-air.
It is necessary to take a guide, it is not expensive and worth it! We were guided by an energetic and interested student. It was possible to discuss the issues of interest to us, thanks to him for that. They speak both Russian and English too
Keep in mind that the museum is open until about 19h and come in advance.

Of course, it has become beautiful and the territory has been improved, but there is still a lot of work and imagination to invest. And of course finance. But what was and what is... Respect! Well done! I've been walking and driving past this clay mountain for almost 50 years, and now it's a pleasure to see and practically plunge into medieval architecture! I really like it!
