In this year, the motto of which is "Fount of Wisdom Magtymguly Pyragy”, the History and Local Lore Museum of the Magtymguly etrap of the Balkan velayat became the centre of attraction for the poet’s admirers.
The opening of the modern Museum, built in 2015 on the initiative of the National Leader of the Turkmen people Hero-Arkadag in the centre of etrap, radically changed its architectural look and the historical and memorial complex with the monument of Magtymguly Pyragy in the centre and surrounded by seven “stars” of Turkmen classical poetry – Gurbandurdy Zelili, Mammedveli Kemine, Seyitnazar Seydi, Gurbanali Magrupi, Annagylych Mataji and Mollanepes – as if a thread connecting a galaxy of outstanding poets.
