Taltsy Village, Russia
Why Travel to Taltsy Village
The Taltsy Village is a unique open-air architectural-ethnographic museum of traditional wooden architecture, set in a picturesque place on the Angara River's right bank. This reconstructed Siberian village is the storage of history and culture of the peoples of Eastern Siberia.
First opened in 1980, the museum complex consists of several buildings threatened with flooding when the Irkutsk Dam was constructed on the Angara River. All the buildings at the Taltsy museum were rescued from the rising waters and brought here to serve as models of Irkutsk regional architecture.
What to See in Taltsy Village
More than 40 historical and architectural monuments and 8000 exhibits of great historical value are scattered in the 67 hectares Taltsy Village occupies. The Museum boasts rich natural landscapes and allows visitors to get acquainted with the peoples' material and spiritual culture that inhabits the Baikal region: Russian, Buryat, and Evenki.
