Propaganda Museum was opened in Shepetivka as a memorial museum of Mykola Ostrovsky - one of the four museums of the writer on the territory of Ukraine.

Renamed by the decision of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Council in 2020.

It was founded in 1946, and the current building of the museum was built in 1974-1979 according to the individual project of architects Mykola Husyeyev and Viktor Suslov. A three-story building of round shape, built of stone and metal, covered with red and black enamel. According to UNESCO, the Museum of Propaganda in Shepetivka is included in the international catalog "Museums of the World" as a unique architectural monument.

The artistic and monumental decoration of the exposition was developed by the artist Anatoliy Haydamaka. In the vestibule, there is a bust of Mykola Ostrovsky by the sculptor Volodymyr Kornev. The main exhibition is on the third floor. The exhibits are in black cubes fixed on rails. Above the cubes are placed spatial compositions of various things corresponding to the era and the theme of the stands. Submitted photos, documents, memorabilia, editions of the writer's works and illustrations to them.

The museum is located on a hill, all the approaches to it are beautifully paved with stone, which, in addition to the original design, unfortunately creates serious inconvenience for people with disabilities.
