THE LOCAL MUSEUM OF MARY PROVINCE

14.03.2025y.

The Mary Velayat Museum of History and Local Lore regularly host school excursions, introducing the younger generation to the rich national heritage. A recent visit by students from secondary school No. 5 in Mary was another example of a successful educational event. Museum staff, possessing deep knowledge, provided schoolchildren with detailed information about the history and culture of the Turkmen people, answering all their questions. This plays an important role in the patriotic education of youth. The bright past of the Turkmen people evokes a sense of pride in the youth. The craftsmanship of ancestors in needlework is particularly admired.National clothing, adorned with sophisticated embroidery, astounds with its elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. These unique patterns, passed down to us from the depths of centuries, not only reflect the historical past of the nation but also symbolize its aspiration for a bright future. The traditional way of life of the Turkmen people was closely connected with housekeeping. Women skillfully managed the household: baked bread in a tamdyr, cooked food, felted wool, wove carpets and rugs. Schoolchildren also learned a lot about the ancient land of Margush, its traditions related to cattle breeding, jewelry, hunting, weaving, and Turkmen wedding ceremonies. Museums are invaluable bridges connecting the past and the present, allowing us to preserve and pass on cultural heritage to future generations.
