Things that noone sees

There are more than 2 000 items in the exposition of the museum. Each of them has its own story. Some of them were found during archaeological excavations, others were transferred from the owners. The names of those who supplemented the Museum-Reserve collections were not lost over time, they remain forever in the annals of history.

During the excursion a tour guide will tell about the most interesting items from the exposition. For individual visitors sometimes it is difficult to determine the value of exhibit. We offer a series of articles about the unique, most valuable and interesting items from the museum.
