Museum and Exhibition Complex "I. A. Sayapin House"

About museum

The two-story wooden house is a monument of early 20th-century wooden architecture and has regional significance. It is located on Amurskaya Street, between Kalinina and Komsomolskaya Streets, and was built in 1912. The owner of the house was a Blagoveshchensk townsman and elector to the city duma, Innokentiy Agapovich Sayapin. In its original form the building was used for administrative purposes and was leased by a vocational school. Later, during the Soviet period, it housed a communal apartment, and in the 1990s it served as the office of the Irkutsk Oil and Fat Combine. Since 2018 the building has been home to historical exhibitions and the exhibition space of the Museum and Exhibition Complex "I. A. Sayapin House".
