One of the sections of the museum’s exhibition, “Teacher and Students”, is dedicated to the Krasnoyarsk architect and artist of the early 20th century Leonid Alexandrovich Chernyshev. He designed a lot of city buildings, including mansions and tenement buildings, exhibition pavilions, schools, churches, a boulevard on the Yenisey embankment, as well as the building of the Krasnoyarsk Museum of Local Lore.

After studying in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Leonid Chernyshev returned to Krasnoyarsk and from 1906 lived with his mother in the house of his uncle Ioann Vasilievich Ryazansky, the archpriest of the Resurrection Cathedral.

The furniture set was designed around 1906 — the 1910s for his uncle’s house, where Chernyshev had a study. All the furniture was made by a friend of Chernyshev, Krasnoyarsk cabinetmaker Vasily Alexandrovich Matantsev, who along with his brothers and sons had a cabinetmaking workshop in Krasnoyarsk. The exhibition of the museum includes a cupboard, which Chernyshev used as a bookcase, as well as a desk, two chairs, an armchair and a stand for flowers.

The body of the buffet is made of pine and larch, covered with oak veneer sheeting. The upper part of the buffet is divided into two unequal parts: the left one is made in the form of a cupboard with glass doors, and the right one has an additional open upper niche. The cupboard of the lower part and drawers are lockable. The cupboard is decorated with applied strips of geometric shapes and decorative metal plates.

The two-pedestal desk is designed in Art Nouveau style. The rectangular desk top is covered with brown leatherette. The right pedestal is made in the form of an open shelf with two shelves and one drawer. The left one is closed with a door decorated with applied carving. On the upper board are low superstructures in the form of shelves with glazed windows where the architect placed photographs.

The large, heavyweight chairs and armchair have insert seats. The high back of the armchair consists of two parts and is upholstered in burgundy-colored velvet. The rectangular cross-sectional side bases extend into the back legs. The crosspieces are designed in the form of a semi-oval lattice. The seats and semi-soft cushions of the chairs are also covered with burgundy velvet. The upper part of the backs of the armchair and chairs is narrowed, therefore echoing the shape of stone obelisks, characteristic of the architecture of Ancient Egypt, Leonid Chernyshev was an admirer of.
