Thanks to them, the collection of folk art ranked one of the best in Russia. O.V. Kruglova’s collecting was based on scientific methods. She carefully examined several neighboring regions, marked routs, studied documents and literature on history of villages and handicrafts.

Several expeditions to the Vologda Regions and neighboring districts of the Kostroma and Yaroslavl Regions discovered a new original type of distaffs. An outstanding result of Kruglova’s expeditions was the record of hundreds craftsmen’s names. O. Kruglova was a talented exhibition designer of a faultless taste. The display “Russian Folk Art”, including the design project, adjustment of old show-cases and assembling of the exhibits, was created exclusively by the Museum workers. The exposition was academically strict, yet emotional and sincere. It fascinated millions of visitors for several decades.

The expedition results are summarized in the comprehensive album “Traditional Russian Carved and painted Woodwork (M., 1974), four times republished in different languages.
