A certain and in its own significant share were the works of Buryat professional artists who reflected the construction of the Baikal-Amur highway. Unique collection of Mikhkov folk toys from Kirov is the work of the laureate of the State Prize of the RSFSR E.Z. Koshkina and other masters. Of particular value is a unique decorative composition made of glass, presented by the American gold miner Edward Lamb. The author of the work is the famous American artist Domenico Labini.
