House-Museum of Dmytro Yavornytskyi

The House-Museum of Dmytro Yavornytsky is a red brick building with a carved wooden veranda that preserves the residence and workspace of a renowned scholar. The rooms contain his personal belongings and papers that document his academic career and research.

This building was constructed in 1905 by architect Leonid Brodnytsky and represents the last surviving residential structure from the Katerynoslav era, the former name of the city. It stands as a remaining physical reminder of that period in the city's development.

The museum displays personal objects, photographs, and correspondence that reveal how Yavornytsky dedicated himself to studying and recording the region's past. Visitors can see the everyday traces of a life spent in scholarly research and academic work.

Visitors can walk through the rooms of a former scholar's home and experience the everyday working environment. The museum also organizes workshops throughout the year in traditional crafts including embroidery and decorative painting for those interested in hands-on learning.

The building served as both residence and workplace for the scholar for more than thirty years before becoming a museum after his death. This dual purpose makes it rare among preserved spaces that show how an academic life was actually lived within a single home.
