Now experts are examining the condition of the returned artifacts. We are talking about 565 items: ancient sculptures, Scythian and Sarmatian jewelry, Chinese lacquer boxes that are two thousand years old.
Artifacts from four Crimean museums presented at the exhibition “Crimea: Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea” in Amsterdam returned to Ukraine. The National Museum of History of Ukraine reported this on Monday, November 27.
After almost 10 years of trials, the artifacts from four Crimean museums, which were presented at the exhibition “Crimea: Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea” in Amsterdam, returned to Ukraine. The Allard Pearson Museum transferred them to the National Museum of Ukrainian History. They will be kept there until the de-occupation of Crimea,” the statement said.
Currently, specialists are evaluating the condition of the returned items. We are talking about 565 items, in particular, ancient sculptures, Scythian and Sarmatian jewelry, Chinese lacquer boxes that are two thousand years old.
“During the legal disputes, our museum was recognized as the storage place for the collections of the Crimean museums. This means that, for its part, the museum will make every effort to preserve them and to ensure that citizens and visitors of Ukraine can see them,” said the general director of history of the National Museum of Ukraine, Fedor Androshchuk.
In this regard, the customs of Kiev reported that it had already begun processing Scythian gold.
Today, a truck with 2,694 kg of cultural property, collectively known as Scythian gold, entered the territory of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, where the customs officials of Kiev will identify the treasures in the Treasury of the National Museum of Ukraine, the report said.

At the beginning of 2014, the collection of Scythian gold was transferred for exhibition to the Allard Pearson Museum in Amsterdam. At the time of the exhibition, Crimea was acquired by Russia. Since then, the rights to the Scythian gold have been disputed in court.
We are talking about a collection of unique archaeological treasures: weapons, precious stones, precious Chinese lacquered boxes, Scythian gold jewelry. One of the important specimens of the exhibition is an ancient Scythian helmet, which is more than 2400 years old. The cost of the entire exhibition is estimated at more than one million euros.
