    Chelyabinsk was founded in 1736 as a fortress on the site of the Bashkir village of Chelyaba, located on the geological border of the Urals and Siberia, on the banks of the Miass River. Colonel A.I. Tevkelev is considered the founder of the fortress.

    The history of the museum began in 1923, when the Museum of the local region was opened in the mansion of the Yaushev brothers. From the moment of its opening to the present day, the museum has been continuously working on the creation and preservation of exhibitions.

    In 2006, the museum moved to a new building, which was designed by S.F. Yakobyuk. It was built on the site of the Chelyabinsk fortress of the XVIII century and resembles the outlines of a defensive structure with towers.

    I'm so glad I chose the 'Across the Expanses of Perm the Great' tour in July 2024. It was a high-quality, engaging, and thoughtfully designed journey through the entire Perm region. The trip was full of fascinating discoveries: ancient monasteries, unique museums, the distinctive Permian animal style and wooden deities, the history of salt production and the Stroganovs in the Urals, and much more. The natural beauty of Parma was breathtaking: dense forests, countless rivers, mountains, and even an ice cave. The hotels were comfortable, and the breakfasts and lunches were tasty, often featuring elements of local cuisine. Traveling in a small group made the experience even more enjoyable, after all, it's usually seasoned travelers who venture to the Perm region. One special moment was when we all got to bake and taste traditional gingerbread made from an old recipe, for many of us, it was a first. Huge thanks to our amazing guide, Andrey, and to Venaris, our incredibly skilled driver!
