The Museum of Stone-Cutting and Jewelry Art History of the Urals was opened in Yekaterinburg in 1992. Presently, it houses more than 17 thousand exhibits: works created by jewelry companies of Carl Fabergé, Pavel Ovchinnikov and Pavel Sazikov, as well as works by Ural stonecutters. The majority of the collection is made up of items from the Yekaterinburg Lapidary Factory, renamed the “Russkiye Samotsvety” (Russian Gemstones) during the Soviet period.
One of the halls of the Museum of Stone-Cutting and Jewelry Art History of the Urals is dedicated to exhibits inspired by the works of writer Pavel Bazhov. Here guests can see wall panels made in the Palekh miniature painting technique, sculptures depicting the Mistress of the Copper Mountain, jewelry boxes, carved paperweights and other items.
