During the Soviet rule, the Rylsky manor house housed a school where Maksym Rylsky taught in 1921-1923. Back in 1965, a museum room was created at the school, and in 1991, a literary and memorial museum was opened. The interior of Rylsky's room is partially reproduced, memorial items, books, photographs and documents are exhibited, the interior of the classroom of the old village school is presented.

In the park part of the manor museum, there is a bust of Maksym Rylsky.

Every year in May, the literary and artistic festival "Romanian Spring" is held on the territory of the museum.
