General information about A. Chekhov Memorial House-Museum (Sumy)

A. Chekhov's house-museum in Sumy was created in the noble estate of the Lintvarev family (XVIII-XIX centuries), located in the Luka district.

Будинок-музей А. Чехова в Сумах створено у дворянській садибі родини Лінтварьових (XVIII-XIX ст.), розташованої в районі Лука. В 1888-89 роках письменник жив у західному флігелі – одноповерховому білому будиночку з шістьма колонами та ганком. Свої сумські враження письменник використав в оповіданнях "Іменини", "Сумна історія", п'єсах "Лісовик" та "Чайка".

Меморіальна експозиція розповідає про життя Чехова на Луці, про його медичну допомогу місцевим жителям, про творчу роботу та поїздки Україною. Відновлено інтер'єри вітальні та їдальні, кімнати для гостей т ...
