The Micarium

About museum

The Slyudarium is a creative space and museum that was established in 2025 in Petrozavodsk (Republic of Karelia) in one of the former workshops of the Petrozavodsk Mica Factory and is engaged in the preservation and development of industrial heritage.

The heart of the Micarium is the only Russian exhibition dedicated to the extraction and processing of mica, as well as the history of the Petrozavodsk Mica Factory, one of the first enterprises of the mica industry of the USSR.

One of the important sections of the exhibition – "The Green spectrum of the Micarium" – is a logical continuation of the theme of industrial development and is devoted to environmental issues and problems and how everyone can influence the preservation of the environment and help planet Earth.

Guests can visit the museum on their own or with guided tours, take part in creative workshops, relax in the museum cafe, choose themed souvenirs, and take vivid and memorable photos and videos in the museum's interiors.
