About 1000 years before the new chronology, nomadic tribes appeared in the south of our country, the most famous of which were the Scythians. One of the sections of the exhibition "Primitive Culture," which is located on the first floor of the Winter Palace, tells about the culture and art of the Scythians, about their relationship with neighboring tribes and peoples. In seven halls (15-22), things found by archaeologists during excavations of ancient graves and settlements are exhibited: a variety of precious metal products, iron weapons and other objects made of bronze, bone and clay.
