The official opening of the "Agan Ethnographic Museum-Theater" took place in February 1996. This museum became a cultural and national center for the indigenous people of the village.
Once, someone wise noted that a museum is the last frontier before the loss of national consciousness. If a nation is indifferent to its history and cultural heritage and does not carefully preserve the achievements of previous generations, it will have no future.
Fecla Semyonovna spent a long time collecting materials on the history of the village of Agan. She communicated with local residents, recorded the memories of the old-timers, and gathered documents and photographs. Fecla Semyonovna Bondarenko, the great-great-granddaughter of the famous Inkletov family, whose tents once stood on the banks of the Agan River, opposite the modern water intake of Mokhtik-Egan. In the late 18th century, Russian merchants arrived in these places and built houses and outbuildings next to the Khanty yurts of the Inkletovs. The settlement where the Khanty and Russians lived was named Agan. In the early 1950s, during the Soviet era, a new village was built on the hill where the Khanty from the Inkletov family once buried their ancestors.
The main focus of the museum's work is the theatricalization of the folklore of the Agan Khanty. During its activity, the museum organized the production of various souvenirs among the local residents.
In 2008, workshops opened at the museum, which expanded their work throughout the district, developing models for the organization of production and sales of ethnic products among the indigenous people. In 2007, the museum received a grant from the Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra in the field of decorative and applied arts.
In 2008, the museum was transformed into the Municipal Budget Institution "Center for National Crafts and Trades."
