The museum is located in the picturesque western part of Alushta, known as Professor's Corner. At an altitude of 100 meters above sea level, on Eagle Mountain, among cypress trees, stands a small house, the creative workshop of the famous writer, academician, and doctor of philological sciences Sergey Nikolayevich Sergeev-Tsensky.

For over fifty years, this "master of verbal mysteries," as M. Gorky called him, lived in Crimea. He considered Alushta a secluded and simultaneously beautiful place in terms of nature and climate. It was here that S. N. Sergeev-Tsensky created most of his works, including the epic "Transformation of Russia" and the cycle about the Crimean War "Sevastopol Suffering."

In 1962, after the writer's death, a literary-memorial museum was opened in his house. Sergeev-Tsensky's widow transferred the estate, the house with its furnishings, a unique library, and an archive to the city.

The museum's exhibition is divided into two sections: literary and memorial. The literary section introduces visitors to the life and work of the writer, while the memorial part preserves the environment that existed during his lifetime. Museum guests can see photographs, awards, valuable items of applied art, and paintings by famous artists.

The memorial park surrounding the house is an integral part of Sergeev-Tsensky's estate. Here, pyramid-shaped cypress trees rise, an almond grove blooms in spring, and fruit trees grown by the writer himself bear fruit. Not far from the house, in the shade of evergreen bushes, stands a monument at the writer's grave.

The State Budgetary Institution of Culture of the Republic of Crimea "Alyoshin Literary-Memorial Museum of S. N. Sergeev-Tsensky" also includes the A. N. Beketov Estate Museum and the Museum of the writer I. S. Shmelev, which operate as its departments.
