By the beginning of the XXth century the Grodekov museum "attracted the attention of all donators" in Khabarovsk and became the head museum in the Priamursky Territory. Its collections were exposed in the Russian and international exhibitions in Novgorod, Kazan, Chicago and Paris. V.K. Arsenyev, the famous traveller, scientist and writer, the important museum figure, had been heading the Khabarovsk Regional Lore Museum for more than 10 years (1910-1919 and 1924-1925 ). For that period the museum became the centre of lore studies in the Territory. In 2000 the Khabarovsk Regional zoom inLore Museum has been given the status of the scientific institution and the title "The best museum of the year 2000". The museum is a member of the Russian Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Nowadays the museum reserves include more than 328.438 thousand items. Many of them are exposed in 12 sections of the museum. Annually the museum is visited by 180.000 people. More than 2500 excursions, lectures and lessons are given here. 9 moving exhibitions are displayed in the museum and in other cultural-educational institutions of the city.
