The recent experimental data of a search for exotic hadrons — mesons and baryons — are presented in an accessible style. The expected properties of these hadron states and methods of their identification are discussed. Evidence for exotic hidden-strangeness baryons and various hybrid mesons is analyzed and the results of a search for heavy exotic strange-charmed pentabaryons are summarized.
