The collection of artistic wooden articles from the Zagorsk State Historical and Art Museum is one of the richest and most complete among other collections of Russian folk art. The exhibits began to be collected in the 1930s, with significant acquisitions made in recent decades through expeditions focused on the collection and study of Russian folk art. This work primarily took place in the northern regions of Russia and the Upper and Middle Povolzhye, areas rich in forests where wood was the primary material for constructing houses, churches, ships, and creating furniture, tools, household utensils, and children’s toys.
