The Agansky Ethnographic Museum-Theater, the only institution of its kind in the region, opened in February 1996. Here, visitors can learn about the life, culture, and traditions of the indigenous peoples of the North: the Nenets, Khanty, and Mansi.
The museum-theater is a municipal organization, primarily focused on cultural and mass activities as well as research.
Exhibits in the museum-theater include "Clothing of the Agansky Khanty," "Birch Bark in the Everyday Life of the Agansky Khanty," "Hunting and Fishing," "Types of Dwellings of the Northern Peoples," as well as displays dedicated to the culture and everyday life of the Khanty people, folklore, and decorative applied arts. Among the most valuable exhibits are string musical instruments such as the nin-yukh and nars-yukh, various bone products, authentic sleds, coins, and clay ovens.
The repertoire of the museum-theater includes songs of the indigenous peoples of the North, archaic legends, and scenes from bear games, showcasing the best examples of local folklore creativity. The performance of the ensemble "Tarem-Ne" adds special beauty to the national lifestyle.
Additionally, guests of the museum-theater can try culinary masterpieces of the Agansky Khanty, prepared according to ancient recipes.
Today, this ethnographic museum-theater is one of the cultural attractions of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
