In front of the museum stands an impressive black steam locomotive from 1953, which first greets and sends off all guests. The museum, opened on May 9, 1984, occupies a two-story building with 12 exhibitions reflecting various aspects of life in the factory settlement. Visitors learn about how factory workers toiled and rested, and what their lives were like. The tour is accompanied by working models of the critical shop, as well as metallurgical and forest chemical plants.

A unique exhibition for the Urals attracts special attention: the photo theater "The Romanov Princes, the Alapaevsk Prisoners," which immerses guests in historical events of the past. In a dimly lit hall, the photo theater comes to life: photographs from a century ago pass before the audience, accompanied by stories about the lives of royal figures.

Young visitors especially rejoice at the end of the tour when they find themselves in a real forest grove filled with numerous woodland inhabitants. The museum features over 200 stuffed animals.

Additionally, the museum offers guests participation in fun seasonal celebrations such as Maslenitsa, Autumn, Kuzminki, New Year, Easter, and Trinity, as well as various workshops. All events are accompanied by delicious tea parties.

The museum conducts informative overview and thematic tours, as well as seasonal ritual celebrations as part of the program "Folk Culture and Us," including New Year, Christmas, Maslenitsa, Easter, and Trinity. For preschool and younger school-age children, classes are offered under the programs "Love and Know Your Native Land," "Corners of the Native Land," "And the Connection of Times Will Not Be Broken," and "My Native Land." Trips along the Alapaevsk narrow-gauge railway called "To the Sound of Wheels on the Land of Alapaevsk" are also organized, along with various workshops where one can make toys from threads and rushes, rag dolls, paper crafts, and much more.
