The first regional branch of the St. Petersburg-based Russian Museum of Ethnography has opened in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Named Sakhalin, the museum complex will serve as a center for studying the cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Far East, the Arctic zone, Eastern Siberia, and the Sakhalin Region, according to the Telegram channel of the Association of Indigenous, Small-Numbered Peoples of the North, Siberia and Far East of the Russian Federation, an all-Russian public organization.Spanning more than 3,500 square meters, the complex features two exhibition halls, a storage facility, a library, a children’s center, and a museum lounge.At the opening ceremony, guests were introduced to the exhibition We Live Here: Cultural Heritage of Sakhalin’s Indigenous Peoples, which brings together more than 400 artifacts showcasing the traditions of indigenous groups such as the Nivkh, Uilta, Evenk, and Nanai. Many of these items were collected over a century ago and after restoration are being displayed in a museum for the first time.A particularly valuable item in the collection is a Uilta hunting suit made of ringed seal skin. Preserved in its original condition, it ranks among the rarest examples of traditional cultural heritage. Visitors to the complex can also view fish-skin robes, ritual sculptures, Evenk and Nivkh shamanic drums, and carved ladles used during bear festivals.
