About
The Nevyansk Icon Museum is a museum in Yekaterinburg, in the Sverdlovsk Oblast region of Russia, at ul. Engelsa, 15. It is also known as the Museum of Nevyansk Icon.
The museum is devoted to the Nevyansk school of icon painting, which developed in the Urals during the 18th and 19th centuries. Its collection brings together icons in this distinctive regional style, along with Old Believer icons and other religious artifacts associated with the Urals. For a visitor interested in Russian religious art, it offers a focused look at a school that is less widely known than the icon traditions of central Russia.

- A collection centred on the Nevyansk school of icon painting
