The exposition is held in nine rooms and consists of two sections: “F. M. Dostoevsky and Siberia” and “Writers of Omsk”.
In the first section one can find a complete biography of F. M. Dostoevsky with the attention focused on his Siberian years. A special room is dedicated to the writer’s prison years. Here the atmosphere of a prison of that period is reconstructed: on one side a visitor can see a plank bad fixed to the wall, foot shackles, prisoners’ rags and other prison things, on the other there are a picture of Voskresensky Cathedral, the Gospel, an icon with an icon-lamp.Necessary attention is paid to people who surrounded F. M. Dostoevsky in Siberia – to those about whom the writer will say “If I had not found good men here, I would have died” The exposition tells us about the Commandant A. F. de Grave, the Kapustin family and Chokan Valikhanov (Чокан Валиханов). The history of creation of great novels is viewed in the light of the writer’s special experience, which he acquired in Siberian prison. As a whole, the exposition “F. M. Dostoevsky and Siberia” is made as a way from the darkness to light, through “crucibles of ordeals” to the discovery of faith.
In the list of authentic exhibits are reckoned lifetime editions of the novels of F. M. Dostoevsky, a short mourning paper published on the day of Dostoevsky’s death, a table and a sofa from a Ye. A.
