Alexander Grin house museum

The Alexander Grin House Museum occupies the final residence of the Russian writer in Stary Krym and displays his manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings. The rooms are furnished with period pieces and objects that reflect the author's daily life and work.

The writer moved to Stary Krym in 1930 and spent his final years until his death in 1932 in this house. The museum was established in 1960 to preserve his legacy and maintain the rooms as they were.

The house preserves objects from Grin's daily life and honors a writer who shaped Russian literature through his imaginative storytelling. Visitors can sense how the author created his works within these personal spaces.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers guided tours to help visitors understand the exhibition and the house's story. Comfortable shoes are recommended as some rooms have low ceilings and narrow spaces to navigate.

Only four museums worldwide are dedicated to this writer, and this one is the only one in his final place of residence. The others are located in Feodosiya, Vyatka, and Slobodskoy, showing how dispersed the memory of him remains.
