A very interesting museum. A wonderful manager who conducts excursions in great detail and professionally. I would like to see more attention paid to the restoration and repair of premises, especially the basement and outbuildings.
It was interesting to visit the place where the classic of Belarusian literature lived. It's a pity the museum itself was closed for reconstruction, but that didn't stop you from enjoying the beauty of this place.
The house Museum is a residential building built in 1897, the summer kitchen of the last owner of the estate in Yakhimovshchina.
In 1906-1907, Yanka Kupala lived and worked here at the distillery as a laborer. Here he wrote many of his poems, for example, "And who is there idze, and who is there idze at agromnistai such a gramadze? — Belarusians" and was preparing for publication his first collection "Zhaleika".
In the museum you will visit the room where the poet lived, you will see the results of his literary work.
There are also several halls in the museum that are not related to Kupala's activities, but are also curious.
In addition to the museum, there is something else to see in the village. By the beginning of the XX century, a large industrial complex had been formed at the estate: a distillery, a tarry, an oil mill, a cheese factory, a brick factory, a smokehouse, a mill.
During the First World War in 1914, most of the manor complex was severely damaged, and the manor house was almost completely destroyed. Since that time, the main house of the estate has become an outbuilding (official), two wooden barns, a house where laborers lived, part of the distillery and the house museum itself have also been preserved.
I also want to thank the museum staff who accompanied us. A wonderful, sincere person, thank you for your work.
An excellent museum of the great poet. An interesting tour, a pleasant guide. I even managed to look into the master's cellars and see with my own eyes the ovens in which the servants cooked food.
Be sure to take the tour, it's not expensive, but it's a great pleasure
