The acquaintance with the memorial house museum starts with a spacious southern veranda, or “a pacing place”, as dubbed by the writer Alexander Kuprin, who visited Sergeyev-Tsensky in his studio in 1906. Throughout the years, Sergeyev-Tsensky received such eminent guests as the writers Ivan Shmelyov, Konstantin Trenyov, Alexey Novikov-Priboy, Korney Chukovsky, Samuil Marshak, and Pavel Tychina.
The literary section of the exhibition introduces visitors to Sergeyev-Tsensky’s life and legacy. There are photos, documents, books, manuscripts and newspaper clippings that detail the writer’s journey.
The memorial part of the museum has preserved the furnishings just as they were when Sergeyev-Tsensky was alive: it has antique hand-made furniture, works of art, an Arnold Fibiger piano, archives, and the writer’s personal belongings.
The museum is proud to house the writer’s personal library — the largest one of all Crimean literary museums, with rare books and magazines from the 18th–20th centuries.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
