House-Museum of Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov

The house-museum of the Hero of the Soviet Union, Admiral of the Navy of the Soviet Union N.G. Kuznetsov is located in his small homeland - in the village of Medvedka Kotlassky district of the Arkhangelsk region.

The history of the museum dates back to 1988, when on September 9, the executive committee of the district council decided to build the house-museum of Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov on a voluntary basis. In the summer of 1989, a group of enthusiastic builders completed all the main works, and in 1990 the House Museum was opened. It stands on its historical place and copies the real house of the Kuznetsov family.

Today, the House-Museum collects personal belongings of Admiral Kuznetsov, his wife Vera Nikolaevna, his family, documents, household and interior items. The museum also has a library with more than 150 different publications: books, articles, magazines written both by Nikolai Gerasimovich and about him.

During the visit, guests get acquainted with the biography of the great naval commander, with the history of the creation and development of the House-Museum. Also, everyone is offered various programs on maritime topics.

A distinctive feature is that the exposition of the museum is constantly updated, and mobile exhibitions on the basis of libraries are organized in the Kotlas district.
