Exhibition 'At the Origins of the Birth of the Alexandrovsk Land...'
About exhibition
The exhibition presents the history of a Ural factory town whose development is linked to the names of dynasties such as the Stroganovs, the Vsevolozhskys and the Demidovs. You will learn about the founders of the mining-and-metallurgical civilization in the Urals, about the founding of the pig-iron smelting and ironworking plant on the Lytva River, and about the history of the Lunyevsky mines, among the oldest in the Urals. Find out why this particular site on the Lytva River was chosen for the construction of the plant and why the town is called Alexandrovsk. You will see unique exhibits: a mine cart from the Lunyevsky mines, miners' personal tools, vintage photographs and many other museum items.
