      Ye. Sergusheva, Research Associate at the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences

      Your Museum is splendid, it amazes with the quality and quantity of content showing different cultures of the world. It’s pleasant to be at a place where museums are preserved. It’s hard to come by these days and therefore especially valuable.
