About exhibition

The museum is housed in an old wooden house where, in 1813, the well-known historian and Moscow University professor T. N. Granovsky was born. The exhibition tells the story of historian T. N. Granovsky, the revolutionary-democrat D. I. Pisarev, the follower of N. G. Chernyshevsky's ideas and translator of Jules Verne's novels Marko Vovchok. Of particular interest are the sections on the first professional collectors of folk traditions and the publishers of folk song anthologies P. V. Kireevsky and P. I. Yakushkin. The exhibition features books from the memorial library of P. V. Kireevsky, the founder of Russian folkloristics.
