Museums - Special issue

This special issue about the Hermitage is devoted to the Ural mountains: the unique geological, mining, production and historical region.

The Ural Mountains are the Russian treasury, where the precious stones, gem stones, gold and platinum became the works of art.

The authors tell about the usage of the Urals stone in interior, indoor cast iron sculpture, etc. The new subjects, such as technology of making of ancient metal products, platinum medals and stove vases are also considered. The travel notes of Gregor von Helmersen are shown together with the material about the unique iron products “Stary Sobol” and about the folk Urals costume. The archive articles show the chronicles of the war ages and the history of the Hermitage subsidiary in Ekaterinburg.
