In 1971 the Academics Aleksandr and Boris Arbuzov Memorial-Museum was opened in the wooden house where Aleksandr Arbuzov and his son Boris lived. The father and son were both famous chemists. Aleksandr is most famous for his work in the field of Organic Chemistry and the Michaelis-Arbuzov Reaction is partly named in his honour. The museum displays many original pieces of furniture, documents and items of the Arbuzovs and has exhibits on the life and work of the family.
