The museum was founded in 1940 as a branch of the State Literary Museum (H–63), to honor the memory of the Soviet Russian writer, Nikolai Aleksandrovich Ostrovskii (1904–1936). In June 1941, it became administratively independent. In 1992, it was renamed the N.A. Ostrovskii State Museum and Humanitarian Center with the thematic epithet “Overcoming” (or “Surmounting” [“Preodolenie”]). The N.A. Ostrovskii State Museum and “Integration” Cultural Center was created in 2016. The considerable archival documentation is held as part of the general museum collections (Otdel fondov). |
