The Ethnographic Park Museum of the Varyogan Village offers full immersion into the culture of the indigenous peoples of the North. The museum’s territory features authentic houses, storehouses, and ritual buildings of the Agan Khanty and Forest Nenets.
The museum houses hunting traps, tools for making dugout boats, wooden utensils, and copper talismans. Visitors can find out how the peoples of the North made ropes from cedar roots and brooms from bird wings.
Visitors can get acquainted with the clothing of the northern peoples which reflects their world view and is perfectly adapted to the local climate. One of the highlights of the museum is the collection of toys which reflects the approach of the Khanty and Nenets to raising children. Wooden sticks, squirrel tail chains, puzzles, and rag dolls — each toy has its own deep meaning.
The museum also offers workshops in traditional northern handicrafts where visitors can make their own souvenirs.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
