House-museum K. Paustovsky, Literary museum in Staryi Krym, Russia.

The Konstantin Paustovsky House-museum occupies the house in Staryi Krym where Paustovsky stayed in 1949 with his future wife T. A. Yevteyeva, renting two isolated rooms from the owner, medical worker Vera Romanovna Oleinikova (Rutkovskaya). It opened on 23 August 2005 as a department of the Koktebel ecological-historical-cultural reserve "Kimmeria M. A. Voloshina". The house was bought with the personal funds of Alexandra, daughter of Nadezhda Semyonovna Sadovskaya, who initiated the museum, and given to it.

Paustovsky first came to Staryi Krym in 1934 to see the town where Alexander Grin had worked and to visit his grave; Grin had died in 1932. In 1949 he arrived with his future wife T. A. Yevteyeva and rented two separate rooms from the owner, medical worker Vera Romanovna Oleynikova (Rutkovskaya). The museum opened in that house on 23 August 2005, the 125th anniversary of Grin's birth, on the initiative of Nadezhda Semyonovna Sadovskaya; her daughter Alexandra bought the house with her own money and gave it to the museum.
