A. L. Chizhevsky House-Museum

About museum

On February 7, 2010 the A. L. Chizhevsky House-Museum was opened — the house-museum of the outstanding Soviet biophysicist A. L. Chizhevsky, the founder of aeroionization, heliobiology and electrohematology, who was also a poet and an artist. This house was built in 1913 and the Chizhevsky family lived here until 1929. Here Alexander Leonidovich took his first steps in science, wrote down hundreds of poems, dozens of scientific papers and popular science articles, and also wrote a literary treatise. Here he met the great scientist K. E. Tsiolkovsky, who supported the young researcher. The house-museum's exhibition allows visitors to learn about the scientist's difficult life, his scientific activities, and his artistic and poetic work. It is also possible to observe the Sun and the starry sky using a modern telescope. During tours, documentary and popular science films as well as musical pieces are shown.
