Derbent State Museum-Reserve
The Derbent State Historical, Architectural and Archaeological Museum-Reserve (Russian: Дербентский музей-заповедник) is a museum complex dedicated to the history of Derbent, the most ancient city in Russia. The territory of the museum reserve, together with the protected zones, is 2044 hectares, and it contains more than 250 (and according to some estimates, more than 400) historical and cultural monuments. The territory of the museum complex contains 25 monuments of federal significance, including the Naryn-Kala citadel. In 2003, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The stone walls of the fortress were built in the 6th century. On the territory there are architectural monuments reflecting different periods of Derbent's development: the Khan's Chancellery (Commandant's House, Divan-Khan) of the 18th century, the Khan's Palace of the 18th century, the Guardhouse (1828) (which houses the art gallery "History of Derbent in Paintings"), rectangular and cross-shaped reservoirs (6th-18th centuries), a cross-domed church (4th-18th centuries), the Khan's Bathhouse (18th-18th centuries), an underground prison – zindan.
It is in the Armenian-Gregorian temple, an architectural monument of the 19th century, built in 1860 according to the design of Gabriel Sundukian. The museum exhibits authentic works of folk decorative and applied art. It was opened in 1982. In addition to carpets, the exhibition presents ceramic and metal products.
It was opened on October 12, 1988, in the house where the exiled writer and Decembrist A. Bestuzhev-Marlinsky lived in 1830–1834. The house is in the upper part of the city and is typical of Derbent architecture of the late 18th - early 19th centuries. It was bought for the museum back in 1941, but due to the outbreak of World War II, the museum was not opened then. The exhibition reflects the Derbent period of the writer's life and work. The house recreates the furnishings of that time, including the use of authentic items that served Bestuzhev.
It opened in 1991. In 2015, a complete re-exposition took place. The museum presents a permanent exhibition "Military Glory of Derbent Residents", as well as sections dedicated to the Soviet–Afghan and Chechen–Russian wars.
It was founded in 1993. The museum presents the flora and fauna of Southern Dagestan, both the inhabitants of the land and the underwater world of the Caspian Sea, including endangered species.
It has been operating since 1992 in the building of the “Maiden Bathhouse”
