Burgers turbulence is the study of Burgers equation with random initial data or forcing. While having its origins in hydrodynamics, this model has remarkable connections to a variety of seemingly unrelated problems in statistics, kinetic theory, random matrices, and integrable systems. In this talk I will survey these connections and discuss the crucial role that exact solutions have played in the development of the theory.
