The exhibition of folk Abkhaz and Abaza toys was opened in Sukhum in the Abkhaz State Museum.

The exhibition of folk toys was opened in the Abkhaz State Museum on Wednesday, May 8th.

For more than 18 years, the head of the Department of Ancient History and the Middle Ages of the State Museum, the author of the project Diana Akhba has been engaged in the history of the Abkhaz and Abaza folk toys. Thanks to her many years of work, she managed to preserve important information about the manufacture of a national toy. Akhba herself organized the exhibition.

“In childhood, we played different games, mainly with factory toys, in particular, with dolls. However, sometimes mother and grandmother showed me how to make dolls. I remember that I really liked these dolls from the past. Maybe that's why I decided to collect all the old toys and make an exhibition,” said Diana Akhba.
