Welcome to the Ethnographic Park-Museum of Selo Varyogan, a unique cultural institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich heritage of the indigenous peoples of Western Siberia. Nestled in the heart of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, our museum offers an immersive experience that celebrates the traditions, history-museum and way of life of the Khanty and other native communities.
