In Udmurtia, there are eight professional theaters, a Philharmonic Society, and more than ten state and numerous public museums, which tell of the history and culture of Udmurtia and its people, like the Museum of History and Culture in Sarapul, or the Tchaikovsky Museum in Votkinsk. One of the oldest arms museums is located in Izhevsk, as well as the newer Kalashnikov Museum (dedicated in November 2004), which has recently become a general small-arms museum. Since the breakup of the Soviet Union a new, pan-Uralic cultural movement has evolved called "Ethnofuturism".

    Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)

    When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    Asia is rich in people, rich in culture and rich in resources. It is also rich in trouble.
