The State Museum Association “Art Culture of the Russian North”
The museum was founded in 1960 on the basis of the art collection of the Archangel Local History Museum. The collection of the art museum at that time contained about one thousand and a half works of art and held mostly works by artists from the area. It also included few works of Ancient Russian art and about thirty paintings by Russian artists, donated to Archangel by the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1916 and by the Russian State Museum of St Petersburg in 1930.
In contrast to the most famous Russian museums whose origins lie in gifts and bequests from a variety of donors and patrons, the Archangel Museum of Fine Arts developed its collections by means of an active acquisitions policy based on numerous expeditions to outlying parts of the region mostly in 1960-s – 1980-s. As a result of this policy the Museum has a unique collection of Ancient North Russian art (medieval icons and wooden sculptures), rich holdings of North Russian folk art (peasant festive and every-day costumes, embroideries, weaves, wooden carved and painted objects, artistic metalwork, ceramics), works by almost all the best-known Russian artists of the 18th-20th centuries

The website is meant for a wide range of users. It might be of interest to both, experts and those who are not frequent guests to the world of fine arts. You could say it is a kind of arts museum representing a lot of graphic material which is seldom exhibited and also an additional source of information about prints and engravers.

All this gives us ground to hope that our "non-real" museum is capable of really enriching the knowledge and spiritual world of its visitors. That is exactly what its goal is

National Museum of the American Indian
The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) has one of the most extensive collections of Native American arts and artifacts in the world—approximately 266,000 catalog records (825,000 items) representing over 12,000 years of history and more than 1,200 indigenous cultures throughout the Americas. Ranging from ancient Paleo-Indian points to contemporary fine arts, the collections include works of aesthetic, religious, and historical significance as well as articles produced for everyday use. Current holdings include all major culture areas of the Western Hemisphere, representing virtually all tribes in the United States, most of those of Canada, and a significant number of cultures from Middle and South America and the Caribbean. Approximately 68 percent of the object collections originate in the United States, with 3.5 percent from Canada, 10 percent from Mexico and Central America; 11 percent from South America; and 6 percent from the Caribbean. Overall, 55 percent of the collection is archaeological, 43 percent ethnographic, and 2 percent modern and contemporary arts. (These figures are based on catalog numbers, not number of items, where single catalog numbers encompassing dozens of shreds or projectile points would skew percentages toward archaeology.) In terms of collections’ growth, NMAI continues to focus actively on modern and contemporary arts, relying on donations for the expansion of earlier ethnographic collections. Given the 1970 passage of UNESCO regulations controlling antiquities exports from Latin America, and North American Indian peoples’ continuing ambivalence about archaeology, there is little expectation for substantial growth of the archaeological collections. And although NMAI’s enabling legislation encompasses Hawai’i, the museum does not accept or collect Native Hawaiian material

Studies of beetles have been conducted at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), St.Petersburg, since its foundation. The well-known coleopterists E. Menetries, A.P. Semenov-Tian-Shansky, G.G. Jacobson, A.N. Reichardt, M.E. Ter-Minasian, O.L. Kryzhanovsky and many others worked at the Zoological Institute. The Coleoptera Department at the Laboratory of Insect Taxonomy of the Zoological Institute is the centre of Coleoptera studies in Russia. The Head of the Department and the Laboratory is the eminent coleopterist Prof. G.S. Medvedev. Coleopterists of the Zoological Institute in co-operation with their colleagues from other research institutions decided to establish and maintain in the Internet a special Web-site on Coleoptera and coleopterists, which should be of interest to specialists and to those who have only started to take interest in beetles, or have just come across our pages.
