Description of Museum of Alexander Green

The Alexander Green Museum in Feodosia, on Gallery Street, is located in the writer's house, where he lived and worked from 1924 to 1929. The Memorial and Literary Museum in this building has been operating since the mid-1970s. At first, the development of the new exhibition area was supervised by the Feodosia Museum of Local Lore. The project of the literary museum was developed by the artist-architect S. G. Brodsky. The building is remarkable from afar and very recognizable from the photographs of Feodosia due to the large romantic relief panel “Brigantine”, which decorates the end of the house.

The permanent exhibition of the museum includes a recreated writer's office, where attention is paid to everyday details, as well as rooms decorated in the style of the romantic world created by Green: these are the museum rooms "Frigate Hold", "Clipper Room", "Wandering Cabin" and others. The exhibition "Green and Modernity" is located in the large hall. The museum also periodically hosts temporary thematic exhibitions, meetings with musicians, poets and artists.

The image of the museum in the form of an old sailing ship and the whole atmosphere of the interior are saturated with the writer's work, the romance of sea voyages and contribute to the return to the joys and dreams of childhood.

Halls of the ship museum

The Green Museum in Feodosia is not an ordinary academic museum, since it is based not on the biography and life of the writer, but on the world created in his works, the world of his heroes. The entire exposition of the museum is imbued with the spirit of the writer's romantic creativity.

A small one-story building that was once the home of Alexander Grin, with the exception of only one memorial room - an office, restored according to the form that he had during the life of the writer, received an unusual design and turned into a symbolic sailing ship. Here, the white walls are sheathed in dark wood and covered with intricate nautical knots of sisal rope, and the rooms resemble holds and ship cabins and have appropriate sonorous names:
Map "Greenland",
Frigate hold,
travel cabin,
Clipper,
Rostral,
Captain's cabin.

The exposition of this museum house consists not only of photographs, engravings, manuscripts, there are also recreated parts of ships, models of sailboats, ancient marine instruments and maps, lighthouse lanterns, ocean shells.
