Memorial Complex of I.P.Kotlyarevsky, Literary memorial museum in Poltava, Ukraine
The Memorial Complex of I.P. Kotlyarevsky is a restored house in Poltava containing the writer's personal items and manuscripts. Located behind Uspenska Church, the space shows how a household from the early 1800s was organized and furnished.
The writer lived from 1739 to 1838 and fundamentally changed how literature was created in Eastern Europe. The museum was established in 1969 within his former residence to preserve his legacy.
The space reflects how a prominent literary figure lived and worked within Ukrainian society. The rooms preserve everyday objects that show the home life of someone who shaped the language people spoke.
The location is on Pervomaysky Avenue in central Poltava, and visitors should check opening times in advance before planning their visit. It is helpful to confirm which days are available, as the museum has regular closures during the week.
The museum holds a rare first edition from 1798 that launched the entire history of modern eastern literatures. This book was revolutionary because it used the language of ordinary people instead of educated speech.
