The role of the North Caucasus national museums in the preservation of the region's cultural heritage

The National Museums of the North Caucasus republics play a significant role in the preservation, study and representation of the regional historical and cultural heritage. The materiality and authenticity, the qualities of museum artifacts, give a special credibility to the concepts which are put on the basis of the exposition. As a result, museums are transforming not only into the objects but also to the means of carrying out the historical and cultural policy.
