During this period, the source of replenishment of funds were also expeditions of the museum staff in the Iskitimsky district of the Novosibirsk region. Thanks to the collected material the first expositions and exhibitions were opened in the museum. They included the following ones: "Iskitim-participants of the Great Patriotic War", "Civil War in Siberia", "Agriculture of Iskitimsky district", "The life of the peasants of Siberia".
