Impossible to visit Crimea and not visitThe Alexander Grin Literary and Memorial Museum in Feodosia. The writer, who gave us the tender Assol and the faithful captain Gray, spent the rest of his life in cozy Theodosia on the seashore.
In 1924, the family of Alexander Green movedfrom Petersburg to a small Crimean town. Away from revolutions, loud-voiced crowds, noise and closer to the sea and silence. Having bought a small house in Feodosia, Green finds what he was looking for on the Crimean land - peace.
Researchers believe that in recent yearslife spent in Feodosia, Green was really happy. The house near the sea has become a place of constant inspiration. Green writes a lot, always every day goes to the sea, which all his life passionately loved. The writer is captivated by the gentle charm of ancient Theodosia, its surroundings and picturesque streets.
It was in Feodosia that "Running on the Waves", "The Golden Chain" and other works were written.
In 1930, the writer's state of health deteriorated, the doctor advised him to move to the neighboring town - Old Crimea, where Green died 2 years later.
The history of the creation of the Alexander Grin Literary-Memorial Museum is a story of great love and loyalty.
Alexandra Green's wife - Nina Nikolaevna,unjustly sentenced to 10 years, returning from prison, began to seek that Green’s house became his monument, his museum. She wanted the memory of the visionary writer not to disappear even in the years of harsh reality. At first she managed to get home back in the Old Crimea, where Alexander Green spent the last two years of his life. It was there that the first exhibition was located.
The idea to create a museum space dedicated toHe lived a poetic writer who lived for many years on the Crimean land, he had been living for a long time, but began to materialize only in 1966, when Green's name was returned to Soviet literature. The authorities decide on the organization of the museum.
Subjects of future exposition begin to gather, researchers of Green's creativity throughout the country join the process.
For the decorative embodiment of the museum space, artist Savva Brodsky is invited, who shortly before this had prepared amazing illustrations for the collection of Green's writings.
Brodsky managed to do what fans of Green's talent wanted to see.

So in 1970 a museum ship appeared on the seashore in Feodosia, carrying the Green heroes to the world in full sail.
Over time, the museum man grew up in a whole block, and now the guests get inside, walking along an old cobblestone street, past lanterns, anchors and rope bays.
A real decoration of the resort city was the panel "Brigantine", which since 1991 adorns the museum wall.
According to the lyrical mood of the entire museum, its interior and exhibition displays are unusually decorated.

From the walls sheathed with tarred boards and decorated with hanging ropes, pictures, photographs, maps are being watched, huge strange shells, ancient appliances stand on the tables, sailboats and lanterns hang from the ceiling.
Museum space opens with a huge mural,which shows the volume map of Greenland. The map occupies the ceiling and walls. Islands and bays, cities and straits - every reader will find on this map familiar names from childhood. The wind rose indicates the right path.
In the hall called the Traveling Cabin, Alexander Green’s youth, his passionate dreams of the sea, living in a provincial town and trying to find himself, arise before his eyes.
A lot of sailboats like floating under the ceilingClipper cabin hall, and each of them - Green's fantasy. Clipper "Aurora", haliot "Secret" and other ships are waiting for a fair wind. Photographs, drawings, books and documents will tell you how the Green Writer came about, how his work began.
The bow of the sailboat - rostra - decoratesThe next hall of the museum and escorted guests to the hall of the cabin travels. This is the only room where memorial things are collected: a table, at which Green worked, an armchair and a couch for rest, a chest where the writer kept manuscripts ...
In the Hold, from the darkness, the face of the writer appears in the portrait of S. Brodsky, and it seems that Green still lives in the house, as he always does in the pages of his books.
