Already several times the Minister of Defense and the head of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO), Sergei Shoigu, raised the issue of creating an archaeological museum in Kyzyl for finds from places where the railway "Kyzyl-Kuragino" collected during expeditions to Tuva .So, perhaps, in this city there will be another interesting museum, especially since all the discovered items have an artistic and historical value .Also, the objects of this museum can be archaeological monuments (ancient burials, fortifications, civil, defensive and religious buildings) .

Many exhibits of the museums of Kyzyl have international significance, the more interesting are those who come to this wonderful city to get to know them.
