Museum of Asian Rock Art
Rock Art is a large part of the world history, culture and art. It reflects outlook of our ancestors. On an example of Rock Art we can understand the way of ancient people’s life. Therefore each memorial of Rock Art attracts special interest not only for scientists, but also for everyone who is interested in history and art.
One can visit individual Rock Art memorials, but because of their specific nature and their hard accessibility it is impossible to examine such a memorial as a whole, to see it as a work of art, as a sphere of human spiritual life. Toward this end we have established the first Russian museum of Asian Rock Art. Its exposition displays the most typical complexes of Rock Art Eurasia.
