Cultural Site

The gallery is located in the very center of Bishkek, not far from Ala-Too Square. It is a place for everyone who loves art. It is not just closed halls — often these are open or semi-open spaces where you can see paintings, works of art, and sometimes souvenirs or applied art.

The gallery features different types of art: from classical painting to contemporary works. Here you can see landscapes, scenes from life, paintings reflecting the culture, nature, and life of Kyrgyzstan.

Better than any other art gallery in the city, but strangely not very well known due to lack of communication, this is the place to visit in Dushanbe for those interested in contemporary art.

The Art Foundation (or Art Academy), located in a dilapidated Soviet-era building, concentrates a large number of art studios. Painters, sculptors, and masters of applied arts gladly welcome visitors.

An ideal place where you can directly meet contemporary artists among their works, with the possibility to buy.

The Tajik border post of Kyzyl Art, between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, is located at an altitude of 4,206 meters, less than 2 km south of the Kyzyl Art Pass, which sits at 4,288 meters and marks the geographical border.

It is situated in the Zaalaisky Range, dominated by Lenin Peak, and on the M41 highway, a legendary route known to motorcyclists.
