In the local history center located in the Moscow district of Chui region, work continues to clarify the historical context of ancient items used by Kyrgyz, Slavs, and other ethnic groups.

According to information from a Turmush correspondent.

The museum, which was established in 1988 based on the sports complex "Urozhay" in the village of Belovodskoye, was relocated to the House of Culture in 2002, and then, in 2008, to the children's creativity center "Tañ nury".

Its collection features items used by ancient Kyrgyz and Slavs, including spindles, washing devices, as well as leather armor of warriors and many other interesting artifacts.

Leather, being a material obtained from the hides of animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats, undergoes special processing. Historical sources indicate that warriors used leather products for their flexibility and durability, which allowed them to protect their hands during battle while holding a shield or striking with a sword.

Among the Slavic exhibits, one can see tools for spinning, combs for combing wool, as well as devices for extracting oil from cream and a painting dedicated to the Belovodsk uprising of 1917–1918. All these artifacts evoke special interest among visitors. It is also worth noting that Belovodsk had its own anthem and coat of arms.

Currently, the museum is actively working on clarifying historical data about its exhibits and supplementing them with fresh information.
