A striking blue-domed memorial to Berdakh, the Karakalpak national poet, presenting the people's literature and oral epic traditions.
Berdakh (1827–1900) was the most revered poet of the Karakalpak people. The museum is a striking memorial building with a blue dome, with a statue of the poet in front. Inside, visitors can see his manuscripts, the traditional instrument dutar, and oral literary traditions such as the epic “Forty Girls.” A visit is short, making it a good stop for photos if you're passing through the city.
