The exhibition “Stone-Cutting and Jewelry Art of the Urals” is a collection of works by Ural masters of different eras, from the 18th century to the present.
Most of it is made up of items created at the Yekaterinburg Imperial Lapidary Factory, the oldest Russian enterprise of artistic stone processing. Here guests of the museum will see jewelry pieces, boxes, sculptures, table clocks made of Ural stones: malachite, agate, rhodonite and jasper of various kinds.
The collection also includes blank seal-matrices, bulk paintings made of stone chips, and works created in the technique of Florentine and Russian mosaic. Furthermore, one can see at the exhibition an entire series of wall panels in the Palekh miniature painting technique. Artists of the creative workshop “Paleshane” drew inspiration for these works from the fairy-tales of writer Pavel Bazhov.
