Sverdlovsk Regional Natural History Museum

The Sverdlovsk Regional Natural History Museum is an institution in Yekaterinburg that displays geological specimens, mounted animals, and archaeological finds from the region. The collection spans thousands of objects arranged across multiple exhibition halls.

The museum was founded in 1870 by the Ural Society of Natural Science Lovers. After a major fire in 1895, it was rebuilt and continued to expand its collections afterward.

The museum holds artifacts that document human settlements in the Ural Mountains across different periods. These objects tell the story of communities that lived in this region.

The museum is open daily except Mondays, and most visitors can explore the exhibitions independently. Guided tours are available, but the displays are also accessible without a guide.

The museum oversees a network of ten additional museums spread throughout the Sverdlovsk region. These distributed locations allow visitors to explore different aspects of local heritage at various sites.
