Y. M. Sverdlov House-Museum

About museum

In 1940, the Sverdlov Memorial House Museum was opened, located at 26 Karl Liebknecht Street, where an illegal party school of agitators and propagandists was organized in 1905 under the leadership of Sverdlov. He is the heir to the Ural Museum of the Revolution, which was located in the Ipatievsky House. The museum includes part of the funds of the Ural Museum of the Revolution, as well as materials about Y. M. Sverdlov. In the collection you can find authentic photographs, documents, things, books, coins of old coinage, as well as works by famous artists. Until 1991, the museum was dedicated to the life and work of Y. M. Sverdlov. Then, during perestroika, the museum changed its name and direction of work: in 1991, the Museum of the History of Social and Political Movements of the Urals, and in 1992, the Museum of the Political History of the Urals.
