The Architectural and Ethnographic Museum "Angara Village" was founded in 1979 and is located 12 km from the center of Bratsk, in the green zone of the city. It includes two sectors: Evenki and Russian.

The Evenki sector is situated in a pine forest, where residential, economic, and cult structures of the Evenki, one of the indigenous peoples of the Irkutsk region, have been reconstructed. Here you can see interesting representatives of the taiga flora and fauna, which harmoniously blend with numerous restored items reflecting various aspects of Evenki life.

The Russian sector features restored wooden architecture monuments transported from the villages of Priangarye. The residential and economic buildings form four estate complexes. The placement of the estates and individual structures, such as a blacksmith's shop, a barn-mangazeya, and a church, reproduces the typical layout of Russian villages on the Angara River from the late 19th to early 20th century. The Russian sector contains 23 authentic wooden architecture monuments, among which stand out the tower of the Bratsk Ostrog (1654) and the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk Church (1875). Since 2012, reconstruction of the 17th-century Bratsk Ostrog has been underway.

The museum attracts residents and guests of the city not only with its unique monuments but also with the pristine nature of the Siberian taiga.
