“Labyt-nang” translates from the Khanty language as “seven larches”. The Khanty people built a place of sacrifice near these bizarrely growing trees on the bank of the anabranch Vylposl. The camp that formed there, and later the village, and the town were named “Seven Larches”. The exhibition is dedicated to the history of the town, the main stages of its development and ethnographic features.
The exhibition introduces the material and spiritual culture of the first settlers of “Seven Larches”. In a stylized Khanty chum and a Komi-Zyryan hut, there are ethnographic artifacts reflecting the life and traditional occupations of the Northerners: their tools, utensils, clothing, vehicles, hunting and fishing items. The history of the construction of the railway and the first town-forming enterprise — the timber processing plant — help the visitors to get acquainted with the development of Labytnangi.
A special place in the exhibition is occupied by a section reflecting the flora and fauna of Yamal nature, the wealth of mineral deposits of the Polar Urals.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
