On July 15 – September 5, 2020, the exhibition “Non-archeological values of the archeological museum” took place at Tauric Chersonese State Museum and Heritage Site. The exhibition revealed the history of the book collection of Karl Kazimirovich Koststyushko-Valyuzhinich (1847−1907), museum founder and first head of excavations. Museum researchers investigate into the origins of the museum scientific library, both the books purchased by the founder and individual publications in the museum book collection. The authors conclude that the museum library was formed, in large part, on the basis Koststyushko Valyuzhinich’s book collection and down to his book preferences. In fact, the unique museum book collection was formed during the lifetime of the outstanding figure. That is the reason for the museum library, and precisely, its part acquired by Koststyushko-Valyuzhinich, to be included into the register of Russian book monuments.
