The Museum of Xinjiang
Covering an exhibiting area of 7800 square meters, the museum, of Uygur and Russian styles, is constructed in 1953. A green-tiled dome tops 18m above the main hall and enormous mural & relief decorate the walls, domes, and entrance. The exhibiting articles of this museum are mainly from two sources, archaeological treasures from the Silk Road and the local cultural relics. The museum is divided into different sections: a Mongol wing, a Tajik exhibition, a Kazak exhibition and a Dauer people and relics display. In total there are over 50,000 items in the collection.
