Alibek Takho-Godi National Museum in Dagestan commemorates its one hundredth anniversary. During a formal ceremony, Sergei Melikov the regional governor, commended the museum for its vital role in safeguarding Dagestan's rich cultural heritage and serving as a unifying symbol for the republic's diverse populace.

The museum houses an exceptional collection of artifacts spanning centuries. Notable items include Albanian-Sarmatian bronze mirrors, a 1,081-year-old saber crafted by Pakistani artisans, intricately carved wooden doors from the 12th and 13th centuries Kala-Koreish Mosque, personal belongings of Imam Shamil, tools estimated to be over 1.5 million years old from Olduvai Gorge and a unique collection of Iranian metalwork and wooden carvings in the minakari and hatamkari traditions. The museum also displays artifacts from the Great Patriotic War era and products created by local artisans.

Founded in 1925 following a period of reorganization, the museum sought refuge in Derbent during World War II. Since 1968, it has been situated in central Makhachkala, and in 2016, relocated to a newly renovated building known as the "House with Atlantes". Currently, the museum association encompasses 34 branches and its collection comprises over 170,000 exhibits. The institution remains actively engaged in scientific research and outreach programs dedicated to fostering educational development.
