　　Bishkek's most central bazaar has a certain compulsive interest and is an important city landmark.

Mondays are quiet, but on any other day it bustles.

　　Where wide, green Erkindik (Freedom) Ave enters this pleasant central park, artists sell a range of locally themed paintings. There's a small open-air sculpture garden amid the oaks behind the statue of Kurmanjan Datka. The park has officially been renamed for local author Chingiz Aitmatov, but nobody seems to refer...

State Museum of Fine Arts

　　Collections of Kyrgyz embroidery and felt rugs, a splendid variety of paintings, and rotating exhibitions of local and international touring works all make a visit here worthwhile. Last entrance 5.30pm. ...

Nissa Art Salon

　　Originally built as the St Nicholas Cathedral, the steeple was removed and this space converted to an art museum during the Soviet period. The building still hosts rotating exhibits of local artists that change every 6-8 weeks, and is well worth a stop to see what's on while wandering through...
