This is the former "Drawing-room with Cupids" decorated by Andrei Stakenschneider in the mid-1850s. It is used to display artefacts from the Bronze Age (3rd - early 1st millennia B.C.) found in the steppes of the northern Black Sea area, the Volga basin, the northern Caucasus and southern Siberia. The bone ornaments, earthenware vessels, bronze and stone tools were uncovered during the excavation of settlements and burial sites. Visitors' attention is drawn to a stone slab bearing the depiction of a human being holding spears (the Okunev Culture of southern Siberia, 2nd millennium B.C.) and an earthenware vessel in the form of a cart (northern Caucasus, 2nd millennium B.C.).
