House-Museum of Maximilian Voloshin

Maximilian Voloshin is a bright, colorful personality. This amazing man, who lived in the early twentieth century, was a writer, artist, critic and philosopher. He turned his house into a free House of Rest for the creative intelligentsia. Maximilian’s guests were outstanding figures of world culture and Russian culture. Writers, artists and scientists were happy to come to Maximilian every year. This has become a tradition, and now in mid-August is held "Max Voloshin's Birthday" - a memorable holiday, which gathers friends and fans of the Museum from around the world.
