Exhibition at the Museum "Literary Life of the Urals in the 19th Century"

About exhibition

The museum's exhibition introduces the life of the Ural intelligentsia and its main representatives – M. Ya. Alekseeva and D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak, whose forbidden and highly original novel once shocked all of Yekaterinburg society. The museum recreates the image of 19th-century Yekaterinburg with its rich spiritual life, the main pillar of which has always been literature. Among Ural writers there were adventurers, exiles, Freemasons, travelers, suffering serfs, conspirators, revolutionaries… A whole kaleidoscope of names and fates that, sadly, people have already forgotten. You will see beautiful rooms furnished with period furniture – a parlor, a dining room, a study – and learn how people in the past made their lives more interesting and fulfilling and how they spent their free time. On display are household items that can now only be seen in a museum: the mysterious musical instrument fisgarmonia (a type of harmonium), a kerosene lamp, and a gramophone. In addition, the museum hosts interesting and always unexpected temporary exhibitions. Contact for advance booking: +7 (3433) 71-22-81.
