The original exhibits are located in eight halls on the third floor of the village administration. One of the most interesting and unusual exhibitions of the museum is dedicated to the legendary Golden Baba, the main idol of the northern inhabitants of Siberia. In Russian chronicles, the Golden Baba was first mentioned in 1398 in the Sofia Chronicle. The Khanty people called this idol Sorni nai or Golden Baba. This ancient deity was considered the Great Mother of all peoples. It was rumored that it was completely cast in gold and decorated with precious stones. Over the centuries, they have tried to find it more than once. To this day, the location of the Golden Woman is unknown. Perhaps it is the guardians of this deity who protect her so carefully and hide her from the human eye.
