Restoration of the Alexander Grin Museum Completed in Kirov On the occasion of Kirov's 650th anniversary, a restoration was carried out of a federal historical and cultural monument — the A.S. Grin Museum. The museum is located in a one-story stone house with a mezzanine, built to a design by architect E.K. Nyukvist in 1908. The building is 116 years old. It stands on the site of the estate of the soldier's widow Ivanova, whose family the Grinevskys rented an annex from. In 2024 the facade was restored, as were the ornamental vases on the roof, and the roof was repaired. During the works, window units were replaced and restored, the entrance area was renovated, and the walls and ceiling were repaired. The building received exterior lighting, and the surrounding area was landscaped. Also in 2024, in preparation for the museum's re-exposition, extensive research was carried out on the museum collections. As a result, the updated exhibition features items that belonged to the Grinevsky family and have never been exhibited before. These include household items and tableware, and a postcard from the Grinevskys' family album. Most of these items were donated to the museum in 1977 by Olga Mikhailovna Grinevskaya, the widow of Alexander Grin's younger brother. A permanent exhibition in two halls presents the writer's childhood and family. The halls recreate the typical setting of a family of an ordinary clerk, displaying memorial items from the Grinevsky family and furniture from the late 19th century. In other exhibition halls, temporary exhibitions dedicated to the lives and works of outstanding local writers and well-known Russian writers of the 19th–20th centuries are also planned.
