   The delightfully eccentric museum retains its original 1922 hardwood exhibition cases full of pickled foetuses and pinned butterflies. Peruse musty displays of treasures salvaged from Soviet-plundered churches and datsany, bricks of tea, Buryat folk costumes and artwork brought back from trans-Asia expeditions by19th-century Russian gentlemen explorers.
