The Museum of the History of Stone Cutting and Jewelry Art of the Urals, opened in Yekaterinburg in 1992, is located in a building from the first half of the 19th century, which previously housed the mining department's pharmacy. This place is situated in the historical center of the city, near the Sevastyanov House, which is an architectural monument and the governor's residence. Across the road from the museum, you can see the famous landmarks of the Ural capital: the monument to Tatishchev and de Gennin, the dam of the City Pond, and Labor Square.

The Urals have long been known for their stone cutting art, and the museum's exhibition vividly demonstrates this. Here you can see items made of gold, silver, malachite, gemstones, as well as collections of mineral stones and coins.

Visitors can also peek into the Bazhov and Malachite Halls, the Emerald Room, and the hall with products from the Yekaterinburg Cutting Factory.

In addition to the main exhibition, the museum regularly organizes temporary thematic exhibitions, information about which is available on the museum's official website.

The museum features eight collections. Stone cutting art includes 19th-century vases and bowls, paperweights, stone seals, and mineralogical hills. Jewelry art attracts attention with jewelry made from precious metals and minerals, such as earrings, rings, and necklaces. The collection of gemstone cutting contains hundreds of processed stones, including amethysts, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and rock crystal. The mineralogical collection showcases emerald roughs found in Ural mines. The collection of household and cult silver includes not only jewelry but also household items such as vases, dishes, and fittings, including about 40 items from the famous Fabergé factory. The fine arts collection includes around 700 works, among which are paintings of Ural landscapes, portraits of jewelers and artists, as well as stone paintings. The archaeological exhibition introduces the history of the museum building and the development of the mining industry in the Urals. The book collection includes books on mining, cultural studies, stone cutting and jewelry art, as well as fiction, including the first edition of "The Malachite Box" by P. P. Bazhov.
