The cultural riches of the nation are often embodied in the traditional crafts and applied arts. Handicrafts reflect the history and spirit of the Turkmen. Looking back at the historical path, you make sure of how rich and diverse the creativity of craftsmen, which has become the national heritage, is.

Indeed, the hardworking Turkmen people are skilled at a wide range of trades. They have mastered so many necessary and important crafts throughout their history: pottery making, weaving, felting, jewellery making, blacksmithing, embroidering and carpet weaving – this list can be continued. Art and craft traditionally not only adorn everyday life, but also play an important role in embodying spirituality, rituals and cultural traditions. They are a bridge connecting the past and the present, enriching our views on national culture and history.
