Literary-Memorial Museum Franko
About This Museum
People make the winding journey to this little village in the Carpathians not just for the stunning mountain views, but to walk in the footsteps of a literary giant. You get this incredibly intimate feeling stepping into Ivan Franko's actual wooden house, almost as if he's just stepped out for a moment. The air smells faintly of old wood and paper, and you can see his desk, his books, and even some personal belongings exactly as they were. It’s a quiet, powerful place that makes his immense contribution to Ukrainian culture feel wonderfully tangible.
Collection Highlights
His original writing desk where he worked, personal letters and first editions of his books, and photographs that tell the story of his life here in Kryvorivnya.
