The Volgograd Museum of History and Technology of Measures and Weights occupies an office of the managing company of the Volgograd Weighing Equipment Plant at Aviatorov Highway 11A in the Dzerzhinsky district. Its collection, begun in the 1990s, passed 2,000 items in 2012 and includes scales, steelyards, weights, documents, books and photographs dated from the 12th to the 20th centuries, from Russia and abroad.

The collection began in the 1990s at the Volgograd Weighing Equipment Plant, where it stayed without official status and closed to visitors. On 29 December 2009 an order created the Museum of Measures and Weights, and the collection moved to the managing company's office and opened to the public. In 2012 it became a full member of the International Society of Antique Scale Collectors (ISASC(E)).

The museum grew out of the Volgograd Weighing Equipment Plant, and its collection began in the 1990s with scales brought back from travels or inherited from families. Since 2012 it has been a full member of the International Society of Antique Scale Collectors (ISASC(E)). Exhibits include steelyards, weights and documents from the 12th to 20th centuries, and the museum has lent items to exhibitions such as "The History of Tsaritsyn on the Scales" at the Memorial and Historical Museum in 2013.

The museum is located on Aviator Highway in the Dzerzhinsky district and is best reached by public transport or taxi. It is advisable to call ahead to confirm current opening hours, as the museum may be temporarily closed or group tours may be by arrangement only.

Since 2012 the museum has been a full member of ISASC(E), the International Society of Antique Scale Collectors (European branch). Its holdings, dated from the 12th to the 20th centuries, include steelyards (bezmeny) and weights; one Moscow newspaper noted that some bezmeny were made from First World War grenades.
