Bishkek's Lenin Museum Keeps Soviet Realism Alive

Although Kyrgyzstan has renamed the museum in Bishkek's Ala-Too Square the National Historical Museum and filled it with exhibits documenting the country's natural and political history, many still
refer to it as the "Lenin Museum." And it's not hard to see why.
With its grand bronze sculpture of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin leading the revolution and a mural on the ceiling of all the nationalities of the Soviet Union attending a wedding party, Kyrgyzstan's Soviet
past is hard to ignore.
