Abstract

The conditions for the preservation of museum items, including organic archaeological materials, are dictated by a number of aspects of museum practice: the organization of protection and preservation in exhibition halls and museum depositories; the system of registration and storage of museum values; restoration and conservation; exposition and exhibition activities, often associated with the transportation of exhibits. Organic archaeological materials make up almost a quarter of the archaeological collection of the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan from the ancient times to the ethnographic present. The purpose of the article is to summarize the experience and museum practice of the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan with organic archaeological materials: methodological approaches to preservation and methods of their exhibiting are considered.
