Miklouho-Maclay Museum of History and Local Lore (Homarnia Manor)
Palace / manor , Architecture , Museum / gallery
The estate of the family of the famous traveler and ethnographer M. Miklouho-Maclay is located in the tract Gamarnya on the western outskirts of Malyn. Miklouho-Maclay's mother bought the Gamarnia estate in the early 19th century from the Shcherbakov princes, and the scientist himself visited it several times. Since 1931, the Malyn Forestry Technical School (now a college) has been located near the estate. Of particular value is the park, which has many rare trees aged 500-600 years. A house with neo-Gothic elements, built by Miklouhy, has been preserved and is now part of one of the college buildings. In 1986, a small museum exposition dedicated to the researcher's scientific activity was opened in it. In 2015, the Miklouho-Maclay Museum was opened. A bust of the scientist and a memorial plaque have been installed.
