The history of Yekaterinburg will be revealed through the structure of the fortress-factory, the operation of the mint and cutting factory, gold mining, trade, and the emergence of the first railway in the Ural region. Yekaterinburg began as a fortress-factory, where the layout of the streets, the daily routine, and the development of crafts were subordinated to industrial tasks. The excursion through the permanent exhibition helps to see this stage through objects, documents, and museum narratives, and then trace how the city changed throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. The first part is dedicated to the life of the factory settlement, and then the story transitions to the 19th century, when the industrial center gradually acquired the features of a mountain and district city. Specific topics are related to the Yekaterinburg cutting factory and the mint. These enterprises influenced the economy, employment, and the reputation of the city far beyond the Ural region.
