Steamship Museum "St. Nicholas"

On the banks of the Yenisei River, next to the building of the Krasnoyarsk Cultural and Historical Center, the steamship St. Nicholas is permanently moored. This unique monument of history and technology was built in 1886 in Tyumen by order of the famous Siberian industrialist Alexander Mikhailovich Sibiryakov. At the end of the 19th century, the cargo and passenger tugboat St. Nicholas was famous for its speed and comfort for passengers. Its capacity was 140 horsepower, and the capacity reached 150-200 people. Among other celebrities, Tsarevich Nicholas, the future last Emperor of Russia, Nicholas II, made a short trip on this steamer in 1891 , returning from a trip to the East. And in 1897, Vladimir Ulyanov went from Krasnoyarsk to exile in Shushenskoye on it. Today, St. Nicholas is a 300-square-meter museum on the water. There is an exhibition on board dedicated to the life of Vladimir Ulyanov in exile and his stay on the ship. There are also interesting materials from the exhibitions "Commander Rezanov" and "The Last Sovereign of Russia".

Museum-estate of G.V. Yudin

The country estate of the merchant and bibliophile Gennady Vasilyevich Yudin, popularly known as "Yudinka", is a unique place, the only preserved merchant's cottage in Krasnoyarsk on the banks of the Yenisei . It is located in the historical district of the city, where the suburban village of Tarakanovka was located at the end of the 19th century. The museum-estate was opened in December 2014. The museum's exposition is dedicated to the legacy of Gennady Yudin, a merchant, distiller, bibliophile and book publisher. During his lifetime, he became famous for his famous library, which was considered one of the largest private book collections in pre-revolutionary Russia. The tragic events of the early 20th century were reflected in the history of the Yudinsky library: Unable to find buyers in Russia, Yudin sold it to the United States, where it became the core of the Slavic department of the Library of Congress. The names of many famous personalities are connected with the history of the estate: archaeologist Ivan Savenkov, Vladimir Lenin, who worked in the library in 1897 during his exile in Siberia, and engineer Evgeny Knorre, who supervised the construction of the railway bridge over the Yenisei in 1896-1899 and rented an outbuilding on the Yudin estate. Another exposition of the estate museum is dedicated to the exiled Decembrists who lived in Krasnoyarsk and other cities of the Yenisei province. The Children's Museum Center has hosted an exhibition of works by Anatoly Zolotukhin, a Krasnoyarsk artist of decorative, applied and theatrical art, "A Train from Childhood." Today, Yudinka is a modern public space where guided tours, exhibitions, performances, lectures and master classes are held. In summer, film screenings, concerts, and readings of plays by contemporary playwrights are organized on the territory next to the museum.
