Taltsy Museum

About forty km from Irkutsk, on the way to Lake Baikal, a small village that recreates habitats characteristic of the inhabitants of the region of a few centuries ago, the Buryats (Mongols of Siberia), and places that the Russians colonized in the eighteenth century. The result is very nice, especially in winter, and is one of the few places of interest in the area. The best way to find the site is asking. Admission is for less than 100 rubles.
