The Nytva Historical and Local History Museum displays the event diorama “Fair in Nytva” by A. A. Murgin and A. N. Fomichev. It is one of three event dioramas in Perm Krai. A diorama presents an event as a three-dimensional scene; here, the fair is the specific subject. For a stay focused on culture, it offers a clear starting point for exploring local history.

Museums and Local History

A different perspective is offered by the Museum of the History of JSC “Nytva.” In two halls, it presents the history of the company and the history of the tableware made by JSC “Nytva.” This broadens the cultural theme from a depicted event to the history of a company and its products.

The museums have clearly distinct focuses: a fair depicted as an event on one hand, and company and tableware history on the other. This makes it easy to tailor your visit to your interest in local history or the history of the company Nytva.

Tours of the production facilities of JSC “Nytva” are held for organized groups. If this offering is important for your trip, confirm the specific arrangements in advance.

There is also a specific transport note for visiting the Historical and Local History Museum: Bus route 1 serves the “Muzey Lozhki” stop from the “Tsentr” stop on request, and the stop is 30 meters from the museum building. Since the service operates on request and details may change, check the current timetable before travelling.

More things to see in Perm Krai

In the wider destination of Perm Krai, the Basegi Nature Reserve offers the excursion route “To the Summit of Northern Baseg” as well as the route “To Southern Baseg.” The trail to the northern summit begins at the checkpoint at the Schastlivy ranger station and continues on foot for 3,700 meters through taiga forest (mountain forest zone), followed by about 300 meters across mountain meadows. The total round trip is 11 kilometers; the duration, including the guided tour and rest stops, is five to eight hours. The excursion season runs from June to October. Confirm current arrangements with the reserve before planning your visit.

The visitor center of the Basegi Nature Reserve includes a small museum exhibition about the fauna and flora of Perm Krai. Environmental education talks, lectures, quizzes, and games with films and multimedia presentations are regularly held there. The nature area therefore offers both a several-hour excursion and exhibitions and events—different ways to explore the region’s natural heritage.

Another cultural highlight in the wider destination of Perm Krai is Khokhlovka: it is the Urals’ first open-air architectural and ethnographic museum of wooden architecture. Alongside Nytva’s historical themes, it offers a distinct focus on wooden architecture.
