"The number of items in museum collections are 10 times bigger than that exhibited. There is no opportunity to show all of the items," he said at the round table meeting on the issues of preservation of objects of cultural heritage of the Penza region, which was held in the Legislative Assembly of the region on Thursday, February 1.

Oleg Yagov noted that in 1-2 years a building in the regional property with the area of 1,300 square metres could be allocated for this purpose.

"I even came up with a name: Museum of Museums. Let us imagine that the Local History Museum would exhibit all the items it has in the collection. [...] All the exhibits that were hidden in funds for decades. Children do not see them normally while in the Museum of Museums we would have a chance to exhibit them for three or six months," the deputy chairman of the region government said.

He emphasized that all museums of the Penza region would have a chance to use this platform.
