The article examines the ethnographic collection of the Chaunsky Local History Museum, located in the town of Pevek, Chukotka autonomous district. The author, relying on the methodology of the Russian Ethnographic Museum and scientific literature, provides a classification of objects of applied art, everyday life and ethnography of northern peoples, gives a brief description of their things, describes the technologies of their manufacture. The formation of the ethnographic collection began with the receipt of items from a folk museum. The ethnographic collection of the museum consists of unique items of traditional Chukchi culture in the amount of 456 storage units. The geography of the places of receiving ethnographic items is concentrated in the vicinity of the Chaunsky district. Some ethnographic topics are represented by decorative and applied items and works of bone carving art. In general, the collection reflects the culture of primary production of the Chukchi, their livelihood methods, and reveals socio-normative relations of the northern peoples. However, the collection does not have enough items for a complete reconstruction of ethnographic topics; no traditional culture of the ethnic groups living in the region is represented; no history of collection is presented; and the names of the collectors require clarification. Based on the results of the study, the composition of the collection is analyzed, problematic issues of acquisition and attribution are revealed, and recommendations for promising areas of work of the museum with ethnographic items are given.
