Palace of Culture of Uralmash plant, Palace of culture in Ordzonikidsevski district, Russia.
The Palace of Culture of the Uralmash plant is a large events building with distinctive geometric forms and straight lines typical of Soviet Modernist design in Yekaterinburg. Inside are performance halls, concert spaces, and exhibition areas that serve the community throughout the year.
Architect Gennady Belyankin designed this cultural building in 1968 during a period of intense industrial growth in the Uralmash region. It was created as part of a Soviet effort to provide workers and their families with cultural facilities.
The building serves as a social gathering place for the industrial district's residents, hosting theater performances, concerts, and art exhibitions. It functions as a meeting space where local artists and community members come together to experience and create culture.
The building is located on Staryh Bolshevikov Street and is accessible by public transportation serving the industrial district. Visitors should check in advance what events are happening and allow time for travel to the location.
The building was specifically designed as a leisure space for workers of the nearby Uralmash factory, one of the largest machinery and metalworking plants in the Soviet Union. This close link between industry and culture remains visible in the building's purpose and design today.
