The museum is close to this place

This is the best museum in Yakutsk, much better than the one dedicated to the mammoths and the diamonds.
The exact name is YAKUTSKI GOSUDARCTVENNI MUSEI ISTORIA I KULTURI NARODOV SEVERA. It only costs 50 rubles if you do not speak while buying the ticket and just show one with your fingers, because foreigners pay much more. Inside, in its 3 stories, you will find many instruments, articles and daily life utensils that the Yakuts use in the north, in the Ocean Glacial Arctic.
It is very didactic and in the front of the building there is a dinousar skeleton.

Favorite thing: The thing about Yakutia is that everything is biger here. The Lena river is three times the size of Danube, and the region has the size of a continent.

Fondest memory: A boat trip on Lena.
