In such kind of Kunstkamera stood two hundred — years, and only in 1947 — 1948 years its tower has been restored in an original form (architect R.I.Kaplan-Ingel).
Zdanija Kunstkamera and the former Customs, topped with towers, are symmetrized in relation to a composite axis Strelka V.O. and, flanking it, finish an ensemble panorama.
presently it is Institute of ethnography of a name of N.N.Mikluhi-Maklaja and M.V.Lomonosova`s Museum.
