The Constructivism Museum "Unit F" is a historical and local history museum with an architectural focus, telling the story of the 1920s and 1930s era, which, in our view, had a significant impact on the development of Ekaterinburg/Sverdlovsk. We have explored and showcased the history of those years through the lens of architectural objects and the people who created the capital of constructivism! At the same time, our lecture hall covered the entire twentieth century and, in various formats, introduced visitors to the history of architecture and the influence of the avant-garde on the present day!
The museum was originally located in the first building of the House of Gospromural Specialists (Uraloblsovnarkhoz) in the F-type apartments in the lower apartment 38.
Unit F is the name of an experimental standard apartment, developed by a team of architects under the leadership of Moisei Ginzburg in the late 1920s, which became a source of inspiration for many Western architects.
