In the surroundings of Irkutsk, there is a unique ethnographic outdoor museum called Taltsy. Its main “exhibits” are old wooden constructions created in the period between the 17th and 20th centuries. They were delivered from nearby villages that were flooded completely when the Irkutsk Hydro Power Station had been built. The museum was restored in 1969 and now is located in a beautiful natural area.
