This article provides a scientifically grounded analysis of the major types of folk arts held in Karakalpak museums, focusing on both material culture and associated intangible elements. By combining object-level analysis with museum practice perspectives, the paper shows how museums mediate meanings, preserve fragile materials, and engage communities. Concrete examples are given for each art form, and a comparative table summarizes core characteristics, museum tasks, and conservation challenges. Finally, recommendations are offered to strengthen the interpretation, conservation, and living transmission of Karakalpak folk arts.
