Today the Museum of Crystal is a unique collection of the ancient and modern Dyatkovo crystal. We carefully keep samples of serial and mass produce of the plant: unique works of talented distinguished masters and professional artists, a brilliant collection of the best produce of the plant made at different stages of its history.

Over 13 thousand exhibits are displayed on the exposition area of about three thousand square metres. In twenty five years of its existence the museum has been visited by more than one million people, among them twenty per cent are foreign delegations.

Over 120 exhibitions have been held so far. Nowadays, the museum is the biggest not only in our country, but it exceeds many museums in the world in the richness of the unique collection.

The Museum of Crystal offers:

•  excursions about the museum
•  excursions about the plant shops

Tourists come to know the process of manual production of items out of hot glass, methods of diamond-cutting and engraving crystal objects.

A constant exposition acquaints you with the unique collection of the Maltsov glass of the XIX century, with works of masters and artists of the XX century. The Exhibition Hall of the museum offers various exhibitions and display-fairs.

In the museum there functions a salon-shop, offering the best objects of small serial production and souvenirs, produced at the plant.
