This literature museum honors the great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, who was exiled in Omsk between 1849-1853, an experience he described in his book, "Buried Alive in Siberia."

I learned so much about Dostoevsky from coming here! Almost everything is translated to English, and they also have a kind of written guide in English. Much more than I expected! Definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Dostoevsky and/or history!
