| The oldest material in the Archives of Ethnographic Museum, besides the documents referring to first curator and custodian-director of the Museum, are documents about Museum founding, its work, associates, as well as data on exhibitions organized at that time. Particularly interesting are the documents testifying about the first international exhibitions in which the Museum participated and those about the first permanent exhibition of Ethnographic Museum.
