Today, both adults and children show a lively interest in Russian antiquity, customs, rituals, and traditions, as well as the objects associated with them. People strive to understand how their ancestors lived in ancient Belozersk, on the old Russian Orthodox land. To answer these questions, the exhibition "Russian Hut" was created in 1994, founded and inspired by M. I. Druzhinina.

In 1997, the exhibition moved to the building of the former children's library.

Today, the museum features authentic items of peasant life: looms, spinning wheels, a child's cradle, irons, a light fixture, and much more. Each of these items has its own story and is connected with interesting beliefs, rituals, and magical actions.

The museum conducts classes under the program "Museum and Children." Within the subscriptions "Visiting a Fairy Tale," "Craftsmanship of Kind Hands," and "Peasant Chambers," numerous activities with elements of theatricalization are organized. Each class includes an introduction to museum exhibits, traditional folk songs and round dances, didactic games with ethnographic items, and short folklore performances. The classes are rich in folklore, fairy tales, riddles, songs, and playful rhymes, which not only enrich the child's vocabulary and develop their speech and imaginative thinking but also help them take their first steps into the world of the museum.

The Ethnography Museum conducts thematic excursions, lectures, classes, and events dedicated to Orthodox, folk, and calendar holidays. Interactive events, such as "Belozersk Wedding" and "Hen Party," are held successfully. Every year, thousands of visitors pass through the exhibition and displays, eager to touch the history of their native land, feel the breath of antiquity, and get acquainted with ancient crafts.

The museum is accessible for people with disabilities and limited mobility, including those who use wheelchairs, have musculoskeletal disorders, or hearing impairments.
