Aluminshchik Palace of Culture

The Palace of Culture "Aluminshchik" in Novokuznetsk was laid in 1950, and its left and right wings were completed in 1957 and 1958, respectively. During the 2018 renovation, the building's original facade color was restored and the roof was completely replaced, while preserving the stuccowork by Kirill Filippov and the sculptures that architect Luzhbin defended. The ceiling painting of the auditorium was created by artists A. Kolesnikov, V. Litvyakov, and B. A. Lobanov. Outstanding artists of the USSR performed on the stage of the main hall, which seats 750 spectators, and today the ensembles "Kuznetsk Gems," "Ulybka," the circus studio "Bim-Bom," and the song theater "Kapel" practice here. In 2008, the palace was nominated for the "Seven Wonders of Novokuznetsk" competition.
