A ceremonial cancellation of a commemorative series of postage stamps dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the first museum in Kyrgyzstan was held at the M.V. Frunze Memorial House-Museum. The event was held in cooperation with “Kyrgyz Post” OJSC, with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the museum, the postal service, and the media.

The commemorative series consists of nine stamps dedicated to the history of the museum and the life of Mikhail Vasilyevich Frunze.
