Appearance of the museum is a modern interpretation of the historical local architectural style. Unfortunately, the guides hold back information about this wonderful building.

The walls of exhibition spaces are covered with a light plaster, the floor is paved with gray marble, mined near Kayshkasha. Also, the museum has an auditorium with 200 seats.
