The major reconstruction of the Sagyn Namatbaev Museum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kyrgyzstan has been completed in the capital. During the works, the building was not only renovated but also increased in area, adding a third floor to the existing two.
Distribution of Exhibits by Floor
According to the militsiya, the museum's functional capabilities have now been significantly expanded. Each level of the building serves a specific purpose:
- First floor: large and small conference halls have been set up here for meetings, events, and thematic sessions.
- Second floor: entirely dedicated to the history of the Kyrgyz militsiya. It features archival materials, information stands, and exhibits chronicling the development of the internal affairs bodies.
- Third floor: an art gallery is located on this level. Its exhibits include materials about the President of the KR, as well as about various years' heads of the MIA and department generals.
Special attention was paid to technical equipment during the reconstruction. Electronic information panels have been installed throughout the museum. With their help, visitors can study archival photographs, watch documentaries, and familiarize themselves with departmental press materials, such as the "Betme-bet" newspaper and the "Kyrgyz militsiya" magazine.
Context
The museum is located in Bishkek, which is also the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, established in 1990.
