Pyotr Kozlov House-Museum

Pyotr Kozlov was a Russian/Soviet explorer who followed in the footsteps of another great Russian explorer - Nikolai Przhevalsky - into Mongolia and China, especially Tibet. This museum in his honour was opened in 2002 after a decade of preparatory work. It is located in the house where Kozlov lived with his second wife, having moved there in 1912. The house has been completely restored and Kozlov's study has been returned to how it looked when he worked there. In addition to this, the museum also has displays on the expeditions Kozlov and his colleague undertook to Central Asia and a room dedicated to Tibet, which Kozlov visited five times.
