The Yuriy Lysyansky Memorial House-Museum is a department of the Ivan Spassky Nizhyn Museum of Local Lore.
The first Ukrainian traveler around the world, Yuriy Lysyansky, was a navigator, geographer, oceanographer, cartographer and ethnographer, a descendant of the Nizhyn noble Cossack-priestly family. He took part in the first circumnavigation in the history of the Russian Empire, which took place under the command of Ivan Kruzenstern. An island in Hawaii, a peninsula in Alaska, a strait, a river and a mountain in Sakhalyn are named after him.
The Lysyansky Museum is located in the house of the priest of the Church of Saint John the Theologian, in whose family the future sailor was born in 1773. The first exhibition hall with a temporary exhibition "Traveler of the Cossack family" opened in 2021. Here are some household items of the Lysyansky family - utensils, a clay Cossack pipe, etc.
Also in the exhibition you can see items related to the life of naval officers and training in the cadet corps, weapons of the time, a model of the sloop "Neva", on which Lysyansky traveled around the world.
