Timkovichi. Kuzma Chorny Literary Museum.

Famous Belarusian writer Kuzma Chorny spent his childhood and youth in the village of Timkovichi. Real name - Nikolai Karlovich Romanovsky, 1900-1944 - Belarusian writer, playwright, translator.

He graduated from a local two-grade college, worked in the Department of public education and taught. Chorny grew up among simple workers, for whom a piece of bread and one shirt for a year was a great happiness. His life and work were closely connected with these people, and the Belarusian people still honor his memory.

In 1962, teachers and students of the Timkovichi school, under the guidance of the honored teacher Z. I. Romanenko, created a museum of the writer. In 1993, it received the status of a state museum, and the exposition was updated.

The museum is located in five halls, where Chorny's personal belongings, his manuscripts, books and photographs are displayed. Here you can hear the writer's voice recorded on magnetic tape. The exhibition halls are decorated with the drawings of the writer himself, which, combined with the expositions, allow you to feel the inner world of the writer more deeply.

The museum also offers quests where visitors can learn more about the writer's life and work, see first editions of his works, and solve puzzles related to his pseudonyms. The museum has a flannel theater, where local residents stage performances.

The museum hosts various events: evenings of memories, literary and musical evenings, creative meetings with Belarusian writers. A special place in the museum's activities is occupied by museum and pedagogical classes with schoolchildren.

In June, the literary and musical festival “Timkovichi Origins” is held here, dedicated to Kuzma Chorny's birthday.
