The museum and exhibition centre of Uralkali was included in the Top 10 of the first national ranking of corporate museums. The competition was arranged by the Ministry of Culture and the Russian Committee of the International Council of Museums and assessed 112 corporate museums over a period from 2018 to 2022.

Uralkali’s centre won in two nominations — Talent Development and Public Recognition — and was also short-listed in the Breakthrough of the Year category.

Irina Konstantinova, Uralkali Head of HR and Communications:

The recognition of Uralkali’s corporate museum is a confirmation of its uniqueness and social value — not only for residents of Berezniki and Solikamsk, but for the whole country. Our museum is the only facility in Russia that unfolds the history of the Verkhnekamskoye potassium and magnesium salt deposit and describes the birth and development of the potash industry in Russia.
