The Museum House of Alexander Grin (Alexander Stepanovich Grinevsky) (the Museum, for short) is a house where the writer lived from 1924 to 1929.
The Museum was opened on 9th July, 1970.
This was the house where Alexander Grin wrote such novels as She Who Runs on the Waves, The Golden Chain, The Road to Nowhere, Jessie and Morgiana, and many stories.
In 1966, it was decided to establish a museum. For the first years of its existence, the Museum was a department of the Feodosiya Museum of the Local History. The Museum was projected by Savva Brodsky, a Moscow artist and architect, honoured art worker of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialistic Republic.
In the late 1970s, Brodsky prepared a project on reconstruction and expansion of the Museum. In our days, it occupies not just the writer's flat but the whole building.
In 1981, a relief and art board called Brigantine was fixed in the building's facade. The board was made by Savva Brodsky, Alexander Brodsky, and Igor Utkin, artists and decorators of the All Union Art and Production Association named after Yevgeny Vuchetich.
The Museum exposition occupies eight rooms. The Greenland Room, the Hold Frigate Room, the Captain Gez's Room, and the Ship Library unveil a carrier of the writer and his life in Petrograd and Crimea. A study has been restored in a memorial way. The Museum keeps private things of Alexander Grin, his books, handwritten pages of his unfinished novels The Touch-me-not and The King of Flies, autographs, copies of manuscripts, and recollections of contemporaries. The exposition displays a unique collection of Grin's works published in many languages.
In September of 1986, two exposition rooms developing a theme Alexander Grin is Our Contemporary were opened to public.
The Museum resources number 5,000 original exhibits.
The Museum House of Alexander Grin is one of the most popular and visited museums of the city. It holds exhibitions, meetings with writers, artists, and musicians.
The Yekaterinburg Zoo (the Zoo, for short) was founded in 1930.
The first collection had only 60 animals. Today there are more than 1,000 animals and over 300 species in the Zoo. Five pavilions for warm-requiring animals are situated in the Zoo area including pavilions for birds, warm-requiring predators, monkeys, elephant, and Exoterrarium. Ani...
