These precious examples are presented to different museums according to their profiles, others are kept in the department.

Material and cultural examples reflecting the great history of our people are provided with the necessary protection in these institutions and provide additional information about the period in which they belong.

The ministry attaches great importance to the collection of material and cultural samples for our museums, and the residents of the autonomous republic are closely involved in this work.
It was stressed that within the 9 months of 2017, museums have received about a thousand new exhibits. These exhibits were presented to the museums. The ministry held presentation of the exhibits presented to the museums. These events will continue in the future. Then 18 books of ancient history were presented.
