On Tuvan Wedding in the National Museum of Tuva

Today in the Aldan Maadyr National Museum of Tuva (i.e. the National Museum in the name of Sixty Heroes of Tuva) a round table on the theme of “Tuvan Wedding” took place. Nowadays traditions of Tuvan marriage ceremonies are being forgotten very quickly and scientists are concerned about this fact. Among participants of the panel discussion there were fellows of the Tuvan Institute for Humanitarian Researches under the Government of the Republic of Tuva, employees of the National Museum of Tuva, representatives of the Civil Registry Office, lecturers of Tuvan State University and journalists of local mass media. They arrived at a decision to publish information materials with explanations on how to conduct traditional Tuvan wedding ceremony in the proper manner.
