The Local History Museum in Alexandrovsk, one of the youngest in the Perm region, was founded in 2003. It is located in the historical part of the city, on Anikiev Hill, in a building that is a monument of history and architecture of regional significance. This building, constructed with funds from merchants, was built from 1862 to 1900 using red bricks from the Golitsyn factories and was originally intended for trade. Before the revolution, there was a trading shop here, and during the Soviet era, a store. In the early 2000s, the dilapidated building was repurposed as a museum, and its activities began with the restoration of the interior.

Today, the museum features three permanent exhibitions and an exhibition hall.

The first exhibition, "At the Origins of the Birth of Alexandrovsk Land," tells about the history of the Ural industrial city, connected with the names of the Stroganovs, Vsevolozhskys, and Demidovs. Visitors learn about the founders of the mining and metallurgical civilization in the Urals, the establishment of an ironworks on the Lytva River, and the history of the Lunyevsk coal mines.

The second exhibition, "Russian Izba of the Late 19th and Early 20th Century," introduces the typical layout and furnishings of a Russian izba. The museum's ethnographic collection, gathered by several generations of local historians, allows for a detailed study of household items, spinning and weaving tools, as well as agricultural implements. All exhibits are placed in their designated spots, and the hall is designed to resemble an izba with a Russian stove and a porch.

The third exhibition, "The World of the Bear," includes paleontological materials from the collection of local historian and paleontologist E. P. Bliznetsov. Here, the bones of a cave bear, which inhabited the caves of the Kizel karst area during the Pleistocene, are presented. Visitors can also see the silver bear, the symbol of Great Perm, depicted on the coat of arms of the Perm region. The collection of toy bears spans from the mid-20th century to the present day, and every visitor can find a bear from their childhood. Special attention is given to "handmade bears": figures made from red and white clay, bears crafted using dry felting techniques from wool, and those made from salt dough. The exhibition is constantly updated thanks to museum visitors.

The exhibition hall offers a variety of stock and traveling exhibitions: artistic, ethnographic, natural science, and exhibitions from private collections.
