The traveling exhibition “Historical treasures of Staraya Ladoga (according to new archaeological finds)” comes to an end in Pskov Archaeological center. The exhibition is devoted to early period of the first Russian capital's history. According to Professor Anatoly Kirpichnikov, the traveling exhibition is launched to show archaeological finds to everybody who is interested in Russian history before they are given into museum funds. That's why the exhibition is not fixed.
      The visitors are suggested to retrace the history of the oldest Russian capital from Slavonic settlement and then a town to the center of medieval international trade. The population of Ladoga was mixed and consisted of craftsmen and merchants from the East and West, who used Arabic Dirham, the international currency of 9th – 13th centuries, for their trade.
