Abstract

The interdisciplinary exhibition “Ancient Lukomorye” opened at the Khanty-Mansiysk Museum of Geology, Oil and Gas in 2021. Its concept presupposes a multi-faceted understanding of “Lukomorye” in different areas of study and in the arts. The key model is supplied by a complex of coastal geo-ecosystems of the paleogenic epicontinental sea basin on the territories of Volga Region and Western Siberia, structured, like a mosaic, by a multitude of straits and archipelagos, and populated in subtropical conditions by a diverse community of organisms. The factual basis of the exposition is provided by the vast collection of Volga Region’s Paleocene deposits, assembled by the scientific-educational expedition “The Flotilla of Floating Universities.” The central artifact of the exhibition is a vertically-oriented, over six meters tall fossilized tree trunk with elements of a root system.
