The Decorative Applied Art Workshop-Museum was opened in 2011 to display the numerous items of decorative applied art held in the Yelabuga museum-reserve's fund. Exhibits includes traditional forms of handicrafts from all over Russia, such as Gzhel ceramics, Dymkovo toys and Khokhloma painting. This museum does not just display the crafts though, it also gives visitors the chance to have a go at making their own. The workshop-museum is run as part of the Yelabuga State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve.
