Description of the attraction
House-Museum of N. A. Ostrovsky is located in the city of Novorossiysk on Sovetov Street. In this house, which belonged to his distant relatives, the famous writer Nikolai Alekseevich Ostrovsky lived two of the most difficult years of his life. Once completely bedridden, he diligently engaged in self-education. It was in this house that the writer found his happiness. Raya Matsyuk - the daughter of the owner, became not only his faithful friend, but also his wife. During the Great Patriotic War, this small house was destroyed. After a while, the house was rebuilt on the previous foundation, after which it was given over for housing to the employees of the car repair plant.
In 1977, the city executive committee decided to open in the house of N. A. Ostrovsky literary and memorial department of the museum. It took the museum scientists several years to restore the original appearance of the house. RP Ostrovskaya, who came to Novorossiysk in 1981, rendered great help in this difficult matter. It was from her memories that the courtyard, the facade of the house, its internal layout were restored, as well as the memorial room was recreated.
The official opening of the house-museum of N. A. Ostrovsky took place in 1983. In 1990, a literary-memorial exposition was created, consisting of a memorial room and three exhibition halls. The central place in the memorial room is occupied by the writer's desk with books, newspapers and magazines. A kerosene table lamp, inkwell and nib pen give the room an atmosphere of authenticity.
A special place in the exposition is given to the writer's works, which were published not only in the USSR, but also abroad at different times. In the house-museum, visitors can see various documents, letters of N. Ostrovsky to relatives and friends, rare photographs, the first editions of the writer's works, books in different languages of the world.
