Abstract
The study of cultural heritage encompasses virtually all forms of museum activity: stock accounting, custodial, research and communication cultural and educational. One of the areas of multidimensional museology is the study of the collection based on the creation of an information database. The solution to this problem is in line with the state policy, designated as “Preservation of the objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation”. The program condition for its implementation is the preservation of the museum fund and the development of museums, the publication of full scientific catalogs of museum collections. This implies the creation of an information database of the collection, consisting of the collections of the museum, which is a necessary basis for studying the cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia. Museum studies of the artistic heritage of Kalmykia are intended to be recorded in the description and preserve traditions in the context of globalization and integration of the world community. In the growing process of the disappearance of the heritage of small ethnic groups comes an understanding of the need to preserve and study it. Russian culture cannot be fully studied outside of its local phenomena. The interdisciplinary museological approach, combining the methods of art history, history and ethnocultural studies, is a feature of this study. The subject of the analysis is the decorative and applied art of the Turkic-Mongolian nomads from the museum collections of Kalmykia and St. Petersburg, namely, felting. The exhibits, considered in the prism of the traditions of artistic processing of felt, make it possible to reveal the archetypes of consciousness in the construction of an ornamental composition. The decoration of felt, the most ancient material created in the nomadic way of animal husbandry, reflects the peculiarities of the nomads' spatial worldview.
