The exhibition was the result of joint work with Alexandra Prokopyeva, a graduate of the NEFU Faculty of History, an employee of the Institute for Humanitarian Studies and Problems of Small Peoples of the North of the SB RAS. The topic of archaic is relevant for researchers – completely new materials for the Yakut culture have appeared, and this is a very promising topic for scientists, says Svetlana Petrova.

Among them are the products of folk masters Roman Gotovtsev, Tamara Ignatieva, Anisia Fedorova and the works of those who participate in creative exhibitions for the first time.
