The UMMC Museum Complex is a private museum of military and civilian equipment located in the Yekaterinburg suburb of Verkhnyaya Pyshma. As of 2024, the Museum Complex consists of four exhibition buildings, supplemented by an extensive open-air exposition. The museum collection contains 15 thousand exhibits, including 1,500 samples of military and civilian equipment [1]. The total area of the complex is about 13 hectares. In 2005, the "Cranes" stele was unveiled in Verkhnyaya Pyshma in memory of the workers of the Pyshma Copper Electrolytic Plant who did not return from the Great Patriotic War. Two ZiS-2 guns were installed near the monument, and then the exposition gradually expanded. Work on the creation of the museum was started by Alexander Kozitsyn, director of Uralelectromed OJSC. The main sponsor and ideological inspirer of the entire museum complex is his brother, director of UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn [2]. The museum was established on May 9, 2005[3].

On May 9, 2010, the opening of the updated exhibition took place.
