House of traveler Vladimir Arsenyev

The house of Vladimir Arsenyev is a brick building with Art Nouveau design featuring curved lines and decorative elements in central Vladivostok. The interior displays maps from expeditions, photographs, and items connected to research journeys across the Far East.

Arsenyev was an explorer and ethnographer who traveled through the Far East in the early 1900s. His journeys documented the lands and the people he encountered during his research missions.

The house reflects how exploration shaped Russian understanding of the Far East and the indigenous peoples who lived there. Visitors can see the way travel records and collected items became important documents of that era.

The museum is located in the central area and can be reached on foot from the train station. The building has several floors with stairs connecting the different exhibition spaces.

The collection includes traditional clothing from Kamchatka showing how indigenous groups dressed and adorned themselves. Such items are rarely seen in other museums in the region.
