The Yuliush Slovatsky Literary Memorial Museum was opened in Kremenets in the estate of Yanushevsky (the poet's grandfather), where he spent his childhood in 1814-1828.

Slowacki is one of the most famous Polish poets of the Romantic period. He was born and lived in Kremenets for many years, and then repeatedly praised his hometown in his works. Many objects in the city are connected with the name of Slovatsky: his native house, the lyceum to which his father taught, his mother's grave in the Tunytsky cemetery.

The museum exposition is located in eight rooms, each of which reflects a certain stage of the poet's creative path. The museum has 1,500 exhibits. Since 2004, the museum has had an extensive exposition "The Hour of Thought of Yuliush Slovatsky".
