A. S. Grin Museum

About museum

The A. S. Grin Literary Museum in Russia is unique of its kind. It is located in a building erected on the site of the wooden house where the writer spent his childhood. The museum opened on August 23, 1980, in honor of the 100th anniversary of A. S. Grin's birth. The stone building with a mezzanine once belonged to the peasant A. G. Morozov and is now recognized as a federal monument of history and culture. The exhibition on the life and creative path of A. S. Grin and his childhood years in Vyatka is devoted to his spiritual formation and the roots of his work. The museum displays authentic and memorial items from the Grinevsky family, such as furniture, tableware, a drafting set, a book and even a jasper stone brought as a gift to A. S. Grin by his father. An equally important part of the exhibition is the spectacular "Scarlet Sails" display, which has become a classic of romanticism in Russian literature.
