In 1975, the house of A.A. Kiselev in Tuapse was granted the status of an architectural monument. In 1988, on the 150th anniversary of the artist's birth, a branch of the N.G. Poletayev Historical and Local Lore Museum opened here, the A.A. Kiselev House Museum, which became an independent municipal cultural institution in 1997.

The museum's exhibition occupies four halls with a total area of 78 sq.m. and is dedicated to Kiselev's Tuapse period of life and creativity. The atmosphere of the early 20th century has been recreated here, when artists, public figures, and musicians visited the house. The museum's collections hold about five thousand exhibits, including 14 paintings by A.A. Kiselev.

Among the Russian cultural figures associated with the history of Tuapse, Alexander Alexandrovich Kiselev holds a special place, as he did much to popularize the local beauty among Russians.

Tuapse motifs appeared in Kiselev's landscapes at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Starting from the 27th exhibition of the Society of Traveling Art Exhibitions, his paintings featuring the views of the Black Sea nature were exhibited in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Rostov-on-Don, and Voronezh. Memorial items related to his work, such as an easel, palette, paint box, and others, were donated to the museum by the artist's grandson, Sergey Vladimirovich Kiselev.

The rock at Cape Kadosh, named after Kiselev, is associated with a legend of a tragic love story of a young man for a local girl. This story, known as the Legend of the Rock of Tears, is popular among museum visitors.

Tuapse residents and city guests know this natural landmark, located 3 km northwest of Tuapse. The rock, about 50 meters high, has a flat vertical wall.

In the living room of the house, where family evenings took place, the artist hosted guests such as pianist K.N. Igumnov, sculptor V.A. Beklemishev, landscape painter N.N. Dubovsky, and others.

Today, the House Museum actively studies Kiselev's creative heritage, attracting researchers from various museums in Russia and abroad. Scientific conferences in 2008 and 2011 expanded the museum's research work, identifying over 70 museums that hold 157 paintings by the artist.

The House Museum continues to develop. In 2011, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Kiselev's memory, a storage facility was built, and the veranda of the memorial house was recreated. The museum is actively engaged in educational and publishing activities.

In 2002, N.A. Kiselev's book "Among the Wanderers" was reissued, and in 2006, K.A. Fisher's album "Academician of Painting A.A. Kiselev" was published. In 2008, for the 170th anniversary of the artist's birth, the museum released the book "A.A. Kiselev House Museum in Tuapse," and in 2009, a collection of conference articles titled "A.A. Kiselev and His Time." An important achievement was the acquisition in 2010 of a digitized copy of Kiselev's diary from the State Tretyakov Gallery, which will allow new facts about his biography to be uncovered.
