S. M. Dudin’ Kashgar Collection in the Russian Museum of Ethnography

The enormously rich collection of the Russian Museum of Ethnography includes unique arrays of monuments of material culture and photographs of subjects related to the ethnography of the population of Eastern Turkestan. The history of the collections is inextricably linked with the Museum, whereas the illustrious names of those who amassed them — A. V. Adrianov, M. M. Berezovsky, S. M. Dudin, D. A. Klementz and S. F. Oldenburg — belong to the glorious page in the history of Russian science and museum work.
