About This Museum

People don't just come here to see old furniture; they come to walk in the footsteps of an explorer. This is the actual home of Vladimir Arsenyev, the man whose expeditions opened up the Russian Far East, and you can feel his presence in every room. The space feels less like a formal museum and more like he's just stepped out for a moment, with his maps and personal effects left exactly as they were. It’s an intimate, almost haunting glimpse into the life of a true adventurer. You leave feeling like you've had a quiet conversation with history itself.

Collection Highlights

His well-worn expedition gear, original hand-drawn topographical maps of the Sikhote-Alin mountains, and personal correspondence that reveals his deep respect for the Indigenous peoples he met, like his guide Dersu Uzala.

Visitor Information

Tucked away at Ulitsa Arsen'yeva, 7Б, it's a small but powerful stop. Don't rush it; the magic is in absorbing the quiet details of a life lived so largely.

Architecture & Building

A charming, understated wooden house typical of late 19th-century Vladivostok, its modesty belying the grand stories contained within.
