About
The museum is based on wooden architecture of the 17th–20th centuries from small towns, villages, and settlements of the Irkutsk region. Here you can learn about the traditions of the peoples of the Baikal area by exploring four recreated zones: Russian, Buryat, Evenki, and Tofalar. The southern wall of the wooden Ilimsky fort attracts particular attention, including the large Savior travel tower and the Kazan gate church of the 17th century.

Monument to Alexander III
The monument to the emperor was laid in 1903 to commemorate the completion of the country’s main railway line — the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Surroundings of Buguldeyka village
You will see a dazzling marble quarry, a monument to the ancestor of the Buryats Bukha-Noyon, Lake Baikal itself, and 12 wooden bridges leading to the village of Kurtun — the only connection for its residents with the outside world.
