Then we visit the Fine Arts Gallery (1974) were paintings of Russian and Kyrgyz artists are represented. On the route we discover a lot of monuments erected in the name of various Kyrgyz personalities in politics, culture and science.
Then we move forward to see an open air sculpture museum at the famous Oak park where there are hundred year oak trees. The next point of excursion is the House of Parliament and Lenin Statue on the old square. Then we continue our tour to the main Ala-Too Square with the main symbol of Kyrgyz nation, the Manas Warrior.
