Memorial Museum of K. G. Paustovsky invites to the exhibition "Treasures" from the attic". In old houses there are many interesting and mysterious. Some are very rich decor and luxury, others with modesty, sometimes bordering on poverty. And each of them is the attic space, which usually serve as a refuge for unnecessary things. Recycle your things down to the attic, so throw a pity, and when something might need. Over time, these things were forgotten, and they could have been sitting there for decades. But there comes a time when this store of old things fall by the seekers of "treasures". And find... What you find in old attics Odessa? Lovers of Antiques will answer: "anything. And some of these finds can be seen on Starokon market." And we add: "And the Museum". In the Memorial Museum of K. G. Paustovsky, which is on the street of the black sea, opened the exhibition "Treasures" from the attic". On this street are still preserved old mansions, one of which there lived Konstantin Paustovsky. Perhaps, in these houses, in attics, there are interesting things to talk about former residents? About different finds, however, in the attic of a village house, wrote Paustovsky in the story "the Tenants of an old house": ..."In the house lived a lot of old things. Once upon a time these things were necessary to the inhabitants of the house, and now they are collecting dust and cracked in the attic and they swarmed the mouse. Occasionally we had in the attic excavations and among the broken window frames, and curtains out of a wooly web, found the box of oil paints, covered with colorful petrified drops, the broken mother of pearl fan, the copper coffee mill times of the Sevastopol defense, the huge heavy book with engravings of ancient history, then finally, a stack of decals". Exhibition "Treasures" from the attic" is dedicated to the birthday of Konstantin Paustovsky. The exhibition presents objects of everyday life of Odessa from the collection of Alexander Friedman and the Museum's collection belonging to different periods of life of the city.
