Today, June 15 at 17.00 in the State Museum of Orient (Nikitsky Boulevard, 12a) will open the exhibition dedicated to one of the most important and priority aspects of its activities - the formation of museum collections.

fruitful and successful work in this area is determined primarily by the fact that many years continues the tradition of gathering of museum objects. The aim of the exhibition is to demonstrate the results of this activity, showing those purchased items that are still little known or even unknown to a wide audience.

The exhibition includes about 500 works of various genres. This is only a small part of what came to the museum over the past 25 years. During this time the museum funds supplemented by more than 18 thousand exhibits. Naturally, they are not just located in the museum's storerooms are available only archivists and preservationists, and students of their academic staff. Many of them have found their place in the permanent exhibition, and some appear to temporary exhibitions, their images were published in scientific journals and catalogs of collections GMV.

continuing tradition of transfer of items of oriental art from various government and public organizations such as the Arts Foundation Artists' Union of Russia and the State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Sheremetyevo Customs, foreign embassies and diplomatic missions. Greatly enriched the archaeological funds transfer of materials from the excavations of the Khorezm archaeological-ethnographic expedition of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology. N.

great importance is the museum's procurement activities. Until 1993, the museum is constantly organizing scientific gatherer expeditions to various regions of our country, especially in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Siberia. After a long break, due to difficulties, both financial and political constraints, the museum resumed this activity: in 2007, held purchasing expedition to the Republic of Tuva, in which it was purchased 218 items of traditional and contemporary art.

represented in the exhibition works combined into ten sections, covering almost all regions, collections of which are in the collection GMV: glyptic Art of the Ancient East, ancient and medieval art of Central Asia, the art of the Middle East, the art of the Far East, the art of South- East Asian arts and crafts of the Caucasus and Central Asia, the art of Central Asia, the art of Siberia and the Far North, the art of tropical Africa, the art of Latin America.

The exhibition displays exhibits, which until now have not been exhibited or published. This, for example, a small archaeological collection of objects of ancient art in Latin America. Similar articles lacking until now in the Museum's collection, so collection is published in full and, in fact, opens a new page in the museum's collecting activities of the East.

The exhibition runs until September 5, 2010.
