The mechanisms of formation of the Iranian funds of the Russian Ethnographic Museum are analyzed in the
article. The series of collections acquired at the beginning of the 20th century for this collection, indicates the
relevant interest towards the multi-ethnic culture of Iran, in which female images, with an outstandingly exotic
character for Europeans, have a special place. The accompanying archival materials of the collections, in particular,
the correspondence between expeditionist-collector S. Ter-Avetisyan, a student of the Imperial St. Petersburg
university, and the curator of the museum K. Inostrantsev, demonstrate, on the one hand, the wide range of
research programs of the orientalist s tudents at the beginning of the last century, and on the other, a researcher’s
high status in the Russian Empire.
