The Decembrists' Museum-House

It is one of the significant and favourite places of interest among Irkutsk inhabitants. Siberian exile was a severe trial for the banished Decembrists, although they contributed a lot to the cultural development of Irkutsk. In two restored museum-houses of the Decembrists Prince Sergey Trubetskoy and Prince Sergey Volkonsky, whose wives followed their husbands to share their exile in cold Siberia one feels the atmosphere of that time. The museum unique collections boast authentic things of Decembrists Puschin, Zavalishin, Baten'kov, of the Volkonsky, Trubetskoy, Muravyov, Kyukhel'beker, Fonvozin families.
