Location: Feodosiya
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.

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.
