Description:

Founded in 1953 in Kryvorivnya, the museum occupies the former country cottage of Vasyl’ Yakybiyk which used to be Ivan Franko’s summer cottage in 1906-1914. The exhibition highlights the creative work of Ivan Franko as well as other famous writers and artists who visited the place. In 1960 with the assistance of Platonida Hotkevych and Evgen Lazarenko (rector of the I. Franko Lviv University) Ivan Franko Literary and Memorial museum was created in this house.

The display of museum is located in 5 rooms. The memorial things used by I. Franko are preserved in the museum. This is the bed, the writer slept on; the chair, he sat on; the table, he worked on; also the clock, which hung in the time of I. Franko life; the bench, I. Franko guests sat on. In the museum there is also the lounge, on which Kotsiubynskiy rested. The Hutsul stove decorated by tiles made by Olexa Bakhmatiuk in 1874 is an interesting exhibit also.
