The building of the cinema "Colosseum" is one of the most interesting sights of Yekaterinburg: it was in this building that the first city theatre and cinema was located. Initially, the city theater in Yekaterinburg operated from 1843 to 1912 in a wooden building. In 1845, a stone building was built for the theater according to the design of architect K. G. Tursky. The funds for the construction were collected by the Yekaterinburg merchants. In November 1896, the first cinema session in Yekaterinburg was held here. A year later, representatives of the Lumière brothers came here, who gave nine sessions, which conquered the public. In 1914, the theater was renamed to "Colosseum", existing as a cinema to this day. After the revolution, the "Colosseum" is renamed to the "October" cinema. The former name was returned only in 2002, when Kinomax opened a cinema here.

The Sverdlovsk Drama Theatre was opened in 1930, and from the first days it presented itself as a highly professional cre­ative team, which values the best traditions of the Russian dramatic art, but is not afraid of contemporary themes. In 2010, it opened the Young Theatre studio to implement on stage the newest ideas. Since 2011, the troupe also in­cludes the TantsTeatr dance company. All three creatively independent teams delight spectators with independent and joint productions. The theatre's stage is often used for guest performances by well-known troupes from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. (Source: http://tourism.ekburg.ru/en/theatre/)

Actors' House is the Sverdlovsk department of the Theatre Union of the Russian Federation and is one of the cultural centers that gathers within its walls not only the theatrical community of the city and entire region, but also all fans of theatrical art. A number of creative programs function here on a regular basis, including the Open Stage Project.

Actors' House occupies a renovated historic mansion that previously belonged to a gold mine owner Stepan Tu-pikov. The mansion was built in 1890 by architect Dyutel. The estate now consists of four surviving buildings: the main house, an outbuilding, one-storey shop and warehouse, all surrounded with a fence with massive brick gate. To remind of the mansions original owners, the culture center annually holds a "New Years Show at Tupikova's" — a 19th century home style party for children during winter holidays.

The Ural Industrial Biennial is the largest regional art project with international participation among those existing on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Biennial takes place in the former industrial and non-exhibition spaces in Yekaterinburg and other cities in the Ural region.

In its 5th edition, the Ural Biennial explores concepts behind the Immortality, both secular and sacred; it is seen as a powerful utopist idea, as technocratic obscurity, as a symbolic tool and as a condition which might cause evident ethical schisms.
