The City Museum was founded on November 7, 1967, on the basis of the local history club of the Pioneer House. Many people can be named among its founders, including M. A. Ananyin, G. N. Denisov, A. N. Kuznetsov, F. P. Malakhov, N. P. Mironov, V. N. Mityukhlyaev, Z. K. Musin, Yu. S. Omrokov, G. F. Chashchikhin, V. I. Ulyanov, V. A. Partko, A. M. Nosov, and V. F. Zudov. In 2000 a decision was made to reorganize the museum into the Vernisazh Museum and Exhibition Center, and the number of exhibits reached 32,000. During this period collections were formed of the world-famous Kasli artistic castings, Zlatoust steel engravings, and the miniature books by Anatoly Konenko. Today visitors can learn about archaeological finds, an extensive mineralogical collection, and the richness of the flora and fauna of the Southern Urals. The museum also features permanent exhibitions, more than 300 games and performances, master classes, creative meetings, and concerts. The museum is visited by more than 7,000 people annually.
