The display is organized along chronological and geographical lines with several thematic sections corresponding to the archaeological cultures that came into being across the extensive territory from the Atlantic Ocean in the West to the Ural Mountains in the East. The artefacts featured are arranged according to regional groups of cultures and archaeological complexes that include burial sites, settlements, hoards and chance finds.
