an ordinary museum, the mubel of the era of N. D. Zelinsky is assembled. The museum froze in development in the 1950s, modern children will not be interested in it. They should have hired a chemist and made an interactive room for children and adults to show what experiments N. D. Zelinsky conducted, how he came to create a gas mask, experiments on the synthesis of carbohydrates, but unfortunately, the outer shell (monuments to anyone on every meter, paving slabs) of the city is more important than its internal content.
