Korolenko Literary Memorial Museum

The Korolenko Literary Memorial Museum occupies a 19th-century manor house with seven exhibition halls displaying manuscripts, photographs, letters, and objects connected to the writer's life and work. The displays trace his career and interests through carefully arranged artifacts and documents.

Korolenko was born in this house in 1853 and it remained significant to his family throughout his literary career. The museum was established in 1973 to preserve his legacy and document his contributions to Ukrainian literature.

The museum hosts regular literary events and readings that connect Korolenko's works to contemporary Ukrainian writing and local artistic life. Visitors experience how his legacy continues to inspire writers and readers in the region.

The museum is located at Korolenka Square and provides guided tours with accessibility features for visitors with mobility needs. It is worth checking in advance about tour availability in specific languages.

The writer's original study and personal library remain in their authentic rooms, offering a rare view into his private workspace. Many visitors overlook these intimate spaces while focusing on the larger exhibition halls.
