Lysva City Museum, Regional cultural heritage museum in Lysva, Russia.
The Lysva City Museum occupies a single-storey wooden building on Mira Street in the centre of Lysva, built in 1904 as a people's house with funds from Count Pavel Petrovich Shuvalov, then owner of the Lysva works. Its halls hold over 10,000 items, including a 1913 description of the Lysva mining district and a collection of early 20th-century enamelled ware.
The museum was founded in 1957 on the initiative of Lysva veterans and public organisations. It opened in a one-storey wooden building constructed in 1904 as a people's house with funds from Count Pavel Petrovich Shuvalov, then owner of the Lysva plant. In 1960 it became the museum of the Lysva Metallurgical Plant and only in 2008 a municipal institution. In 2000 the building was designated a regional historical monument.
The museum's name comes from the Lysva mountain district, described in a 1913 document held in its collection of over 10,000 items. Displays cover 19th- and 20th-century daily life in Lysva and photographs of local heroes of the front and home front. A hall fitted out as a factory workshop shows the old machines, books and drafting board used to make helmets.
The museum stands on ulitsa Mira in the centre of Lysva, in a one-storey wooden building of 1904. Its displays occupy several halls, including one fitted out as a factory workshop with old machines, books and a drafting board, so allow time to walk through them in order.
The building was erected in 1904 as a people's house with funds from Count Pavel Petrovich Shuvalov, then owner of the Lysva factory. In 2000 it was designated a regional historical monument. Since 2009 it has housed the Helmet Museum, marking the more than 10 million soldier helmets made in Lysva during the Great Patriotic War.
