The Museum

Provideniya museum was founded in 1985 and has been one of the best museums in Chukotka. Officially it call Berengia Heritage museum as it preserves the cultures of Chukchi and Eskimo people who are native to the Bering Sea area. And of course the theory about the land bridge between Alaska and Chukotka and that people came to America by this bridge. So all that land called Beringia.
So here is the museum building - one of the oldest in Provideniya
