Collection of Russian silver artworks from the 16th – early 20th centuries from the museums of Arkhangelsk.

There is also a not less valuable collection of household items from the 19th – early 20th centuries, that decorated home interiors: a writing set, candle-sticks, small vases, salt cellars, candy dishes, napkin rings. A collection of jewellery and accessories is an interesting addition to the exhibition.
