metadata.value: The exposition of the 18th century Kunstkamera of the Imperial Academy of Sciences was
  arranged according to the principle of a universal, all-encompassing presentation of the surrounding
  world through material monuments. Along with natural history collections, items
  related to the traditional spiritual and material culture of various peoples were displayed in
  the Kunstkamera. As part of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the Kunstkamera was a kind
  of public presentation of the activities of academicians, reflecting the development of scientific
  knowledge in a particular area through the principles of organizing objects and their interpretation.
  This article analyzes the stages of exhibiting objects of traditional culture, their relationship
  and interdependence with the development of scientific interest in the “description
  of peoples”. In the first decades of public exposure for the Kunstkamera (1730s–1740s), the
  items of traditional culture of any nation were exhibited based on their functional purpose.
  Large-scale expeditionary geographic studies of Russia, begun by Peter I and continued during
  subsequent reigns, significantly expanded the body of information and materials stored
  and studied at the Imperial Academy of Sciences. The ethnographic assemblies received state “publication” during the ethnographic carnival, organized on the occasion of celebrations
  upon the signing of a peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Empress
  Anna Ioannovna. Since the end of the 1740s, due to the expeditionary research of the territories
  of the Russian Empire, the collection of ethnographic items has acquired a systemic
  classification character, which contributes to a reliable reflection of the system of organizing
  life sustainment for a certain people in specific territorial conditions. By the last decades of
  the 18th century, the ethnographic exposition of the Kunstkamera of the Imperial Academy of
  Sciences was the result of an integrated scientific approach to the presentation of the cultural
  diversity of the peoples of the Russian Empire.
