Korolenko Museum, Literary memorial museum in Poltava, Ukraine.
The Korolenko Museum is a literary memorial museum in Poltava dedicated to the life and work of writer Vladimir Korolenko. The collection displays manuscripts, personal possessions, photographs, and rare editions of his books across several exhibition spaces.
Vladimir Korolenko was a writer in the late 1800s known for speaking out against social injustice and defending human rights. The institution was established in 1973 to honor his life and literary impact.
Vladimir Korolenko was an important writer for both Ukrainian and Russian readers, and the displays show how his works touched people across cultures. Walking through, you notice how he used his writing to speak against injustice and for those who had no voice.
The museum is located in the Poltava region and welcomes visitors on most days of the week. Guided tours are available to help you understand the collections better.
The house itself is part of the story, as Korolenko lived there and many original furnishings and personal items remain in place as he left them. This creates a direct connection between the visitor and the writer's daily life.
