About museum
In 1998 in the village of Shaftorka (a branch of the MBU "Sasovsky Local History Museum"), the House-Museum of Alexander Petrovich Averkin was opened — an outstanding Russian composer who was born and spent his childhood in this place. An annual folk art festival dedicated to Averkin is also held here. The central room of the house features a single exhibition that allows visitors to learn about the biography and work of Alexander Petrovich Averkin, as well as his cultural milieu. This place commemorates the outstanding musician who has taken an honored place in the musical history of Russia.
