Lovely art. Worth a visit for sure.

Unfortunately, this museum was closed when I visited it (Google’s advertised opening times were a little out). I did enjoy the art sculptures on display outside, especially the abstract layered portrait of a miner.

Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts named after Gapar Aitiev is the main artistic treasure of the Kyrgyzstan. Museum is established in 1935, and had status of Art gallery, but latter renamed to Kyrgyz State Museum of Fine Arts. Museum named after outstanding Kyrgyz artist Aitiev Gapar Aitievich. Aitiev Gapar Aitievich is one of the first Soviet Kyrgyz artists. Nowadays his works are popular around the world. This museum is unique because it’s mixture of Kyrgyz national and Soviet, modern art. Every person can find interesting works for themselves. You can find there wool works of local women, wooden and stone sculptures of Kyrgyz masters, as well as popular works of outstanding artists as Chuikov. S., D.Sydykov, Umetova and G. Aitiev. Also museum offer a room for private exhibitions.

(Translated by Google) Rarely has a person ever been to a museum at least once in his life, if only because a person begins to get used to culture from childhood. If parents do not do this, then in educational institutions visiting museums is included in the upbringing and education program. Sometimes children, after visiting a museum, suddenly ask the question: “Why do we need museums?” Such a question can be forgiven for children, but not for adults, because any sane person should understand the role of museums in our life. Experts, in turn, noted a long time ago that culture is what does not allow a person to descend to the level of animals and what distinguishes a person from an animal. In order to understand this today, it is not at all necessary to be a specialist in the study of people and society. There is culture - there is reason. And vice versa. Reason and culture make a person an intelligent being. Unfortunately, even today this does not happen to everyone and not always ... On this day, having visited the museum, I forgot about the moral pressure that I earned at work, and instead received a flow of spiritual energy, emotions. (Original) Редко какой человек хоть раз в жизни не был в каком-либо музее, хотя бы потому, что к культуре человек начинает приучаться с детства. Если этого не делают родители, то в учебных заведениях посещение музеев входит в программу воспитания и образования. Иногда дети, после посещения музея, вдруг задают вопрос: " А зачем нужны музеи? " Такой вопрос можно простить детям, но не взрослым, ибо любой здравомыслящий человек должен понимать роль музеев в нашей жизни. Специалисты, в свою очередь, давным-давно отметили, что культура - это то, что не позволяет человеку опуститься до уровня животных и то, что отличает человека от животного. Для того, чтобы это понимать сегодня, совсем не обязательно быть специалистом по изучению людей и общества. Есть культура - есть разум. И наоборот. Разум и культура делают человека разумным существом. К сожалению, даже сегодня это происходит не со всеми и не всегда.... В этот день посетив музей, я забыл о моральной давлении который заработал на работе, а вместо неё получил поток духовной энергии, эмоции.

Classic soviet (in need of TLC) exterior, interior has beautiful parquet floors and lots of smiley attendants. The space houses both national art and lots of temporary exhibitions. Soviet theme ‘simple’ paintings. A lot of beautiful, traditional jewellery and felt wall covers. Certainly worth a visit. Bonus is clean toilets. Minus, very little signage in English / roman alphabet.

Quite standard classical museum on arts with big collections of soviet time. If you are interested in art, then good to visit. I think that not enough lights therefore most of pictures are too dark.

So wonderful museum Love it ♥ So many times i walk here...

(Translated by Google) I liked it all very much! Recommend . (Original) Мне всё очень понравилось! Рекомендую .

(Translated by Google) Entrance for adults costs 40 soms, I really like this place, you might think in silence and calm ую I recommend visiting museums occasionally (Original) Вход для взрослых стоит 40 сомов, очень нравится это место, можно подумать в тишине и спокойствии🤔советую хоть изредка посещать музеи

(Translated by Google) Beautiful paintings, a place where various epochs connect in faces, plots, and stories. I like the fact that reproductions are periodically updated, various exhibitions are held, and works by young artists are exhibited. I always come back here with joy and leave full of positive. All the staff all the best, and many blessings you make this world a better place. Young artists with new creative and creative solutions💐 (Original) Красивые картины, место где соединяются различные эпохи в лицах, сюжетах, истории.

Всему персоналу всего хорошего, и много благословений вы делаете этот мир лучше. Молодым художникам новых креативных и творческих решений💐

(Translated by Google) Okay (Original) Хорошо

Wide range of traditional to modern artworks, including sculpture (inside and outside), fiber arts and painting. Nominal fee for foreign nationals. Tours available including foreign language, per signage at ticket desk.

A good place to get an impression of kyrgyz art, both classical and modern type. The building itself is worth a visit as an architectural example of its period. Large parts of the museum are being renovated at the moment and are thus not accessible (july 17)

Great art here! Worth the price.

Exterior is shabby. Interior collection is good. Most of it is in Kyrgyz. Very short descriptions in English. Audio guides are not available. It's on 1st floor of the building even though the receptionist calls it 2nd. Bisjkek doesn't have a concept of G floor. G floor is called 1st floor. The sculptures are pretty recent of 1990's, obviously as the country itself is young.

One of the city's most popular museum, what you should know before visit it: - Named as Gaspar Aitiev in honor a famous local artist, one of the first Soviet Kyrgyz artist. - ‎Ticket price 100 soms (foreigns) - ‎You will find a mixture of collections: Kyrgyz national, Soviet and modern art. - ‎Different sections: Applied Arts, Sculptures, Pictorial Arts, Graphic Arts. Also, is common find temporal exhibitions of local artists. - ‎It's a big complex, you could spend almost half day. I highly recommend visit this place.

It is -6° today. I decide to visit here. Ticket costs : 150c (20231210) 1. traditional objects were fascinating to me. 2. A bit gloomy mood of paintings but some bright one also there. 3. reception was friendly. 4. One room was not lightened(need to repair) 5. It was very interesting to me.

There are different exhibitions of paintings, photos or decorative arts. One of the biggest national museum which has great Soviet and present painter's works in his founds

If you would like to know more about Kyrgyzstan, you definitely should visit museum. Specific atmosphere ❤️ Beautiful art works and cute watch-ladies.

Just go and see it, if you pretend to know, see or understand Kyrgyzstan.

I’ve traveled around the world and seen many art museums and this one ranks as one of the most memorable ones. Very cool!

(Translated by Google) This is a very good museum. New exhibitions and master classes are often arranged. (Original) Это очень хороший музей, часто устраивают новые выставки, мастер-классы

(Translated by Google) With the new director of the Museum M. Dzhangaracheva, the life of the Museum became very lively. Very often the expositions began to change: we are delighted with the works of artists whose paintings were stored in the storerooms of the Museum, and the works of modern artists. The recent exhibition of paintings by A. Turusbekov impressed with a bright palette of colors, original style and talented technique. (Original) С новым директором Музея М.Джангарачевой жизнь Музея очень оживилась. Очень часто стали сменяться экспозиции: нас радуют и работами художников, чьи картины хранились в запасниках Музея, и работами современных худохников. Недавняя экспозиция картин А. Турусбекова поразила яркой палитрой красок, оригинальным стилем и талантливой техникой.

The exposition is still beautiful, but oh my, it has shrunk so dramatically since my childhood. I remember halls and halls full of gorgeous works, also 19 century Russian art - where is it all now? I feel so bad about this 🥺...

Cheap tickets, kind and polite staff, interesting arts. With one ticket you can go to all the exhibitions including Kyrgyz classic artists paintings

Beautiful folk art (that's why it's worth it), average modern art, brutalist building.

Loved it!!! Recommended for all the art loving people

(Translated by Google) Not very (Original) Не очнь

Very impressive collection of paintings and folk art. 100som per person. Staff are friendly and welcoming. They offer coat check and toilets both at no charge. Highly recommend a visit! You will be surprised how vast their collection is.

Only 100c for non guided tour. Some beautiful tapestries and wonderful paintings. Good place to understand a bit more about this country.

Great collection of national paintings, carpets and sculptures. The building and the rooms could use a renovation.

Very nice experience! Worth a visit, I would love to present my next book around here.

One of very few places in Bishkek to enjoy arts!

(Translated by Google) Good show (Original) Хорошая выставка

The museum lacks some basic facilities. Some of the ushers were talking on the phone nonstop. More explanations in English would be nice.

Great collection of social realism art and other 20th century styles. Russian artist of 19th century are a great addition too.

Audio-guide is totally useless. No explanations but beautiful museum with many pieces of art.

For those interested in history paintings

A lot of art😊 Take your time to enjoy huge amount of mountain landscape paintings.

Probably one of the most brilliant pieces of fine art I have seen in a while not many well known Artists most of them are unknown but still a lot of talent was seen in the paintings.An advice for someone going to one of these for the first time taking your time to figure out whats going on in the paintings is one way of enjoying art.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum illustrating the life of the nomads. No explanations in English though. (Original) Très beau musée illustrant la vie des nomades. Pas d’explications en anglais cependant.

The museum has some interesting art work and copies of some world masterpieces. It's disappointing that phones aren't allowed here while museums around the world have visitors taking their phone cameras with themselves. The museum should consider introducing a gift shop, a coffee shop and a master classes for kids and adults to make it more engaging and interesting to visit.

Great Value museum. 100 som per adult. 👍

👍👍👍

I really enjoyed this place. It was perfect

Was mind-blowing. For 100 sum there is so much to see, especially paintings from the Soviet times and tapestry. Officially you are not allowed to take photos inside but the very friendly guards invited us to take photos.

(Translated by Google) I recommend everyone to visit the museum from time to time. The price of tickets is "indecent" -25 som to see the total exposition. I remember being in a museum in Stockholm and a ticket cost about 50 euros. It is necessary to raise the prices for visiting museums in the Kyrgyz (Original) Всем рекомендую посещать музей время от времени. Цена на билеты"неприличная"-25 сом, чтобы посмотреть экспозицию общую. Я помню в Стокгольме была в музее и билет стоил где-то 50 евро. Надо поднять цены на посещение музеев в кыргы

Beautiful museum with both traditional arts, such as felt mats, and modern paintings and sculpture. A guide was available to give a tour in English, and she was very engaging, knowledgeable, and open to questions. Several people in my tour group said they could spend all day in this musuem!

This place blew our expectations out of the water. It is a very big, extensive gallery of art from Soviet-era artists and contemporary Kyrgyz works. The entry is 100s for adults and there is a student discount for 40s. We almost didn't go, but I'm v glad we did! Especially since the history museum is closed, this is a must see!

Bishkek has very few decent museums and this is one of them. It has very limited selection of arts unless it’s a special exhibition. But it’s worth checking out, it costs pennies and will take you about 30-50 minutes.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful museum to learn about the history of Kyrgyzstan. A fascinating journey through paintings and sculptures, objects and carpets of the Kyrgyz nomad culture that will thrill you a lot. (Original) Bellissimo museo per conoscere la storia del Kyrgyzstan.

(Translated by Google) Cool (Original) Крута

(Translated by Google) Was 10/14/20 g We were very disappointed, the paintings are old, dim lighting, no bright colors, nothing to see. It's cold in the halls, smells of centuries-old dust, it's not pleasant to be. Paintings by unknown artists, mostly self-portraits of some people that neither we nor Wikipedia know about. The feeling was that everything that went to the trash was exhibited in the museum. Not even 1/5 of what it was before. There is nothing to look at! On the alley where the sale of paintings near the Ala-Too cinema even the eye rejoiced, inspiration, life, colors, so also free. I do not advise. (Original) Были 14.10.20 г Очень разочаровались, картины старые, тусклое освещение, нет ярких красок, не на что посмотреть. В залах холодина, пахнет многовековой пылью, находится не приятно. Картины не известных художников, в основном автопортреты каких-то людей, о которых не знаем ни мы, ни Википедия. Такое ощущение сложилось, что все что шло на мусорку, выставили в музее. Нет и 1/5 от того, что было раньше. Не на что смотреть!На алее где продажа картин возле кинотеатра Ала-Тоо хоть глаз радовался, вдохновение, жизнь, краски, так ещё и бесплатно. Не советую.
