The Ivan Goncharov Memorial Centre and Museum was opened on the day of the writer’s 200th anniversary on June 18, 2012, in Ulyanovsk. The museum was arranged in the house that used to belong to the Goncharov family, where the famous novelist was born and spent his early years.
The museum’s collection includes exhibits that are closely connected with Ivan Goncharov’s life and work: fragments of the Pallada frigate copper sheathing, authentic interior items, illustrations to the novels “Oblomov” and “The Precipice”, portraits of Goncharov and his family members. Some of the halls recreate the furnishings of the olden days, including the drawing room, where musical and literary soirees were held, as well as the rooms of the writer’s parents.
