In 1985, the Museum of Literary Heroes I. A. Kuratov "Köč Zakар kerка" was opened in the native village of Ivan Alexeevich Kuratov, the founder of Komi literature and an outstanding literary figure of the republic.

Visitors to the museum are greeted by wooden sculptures of Zakhar and Marina, as well as a picturesque yard with a bathhouse, barn, well, gazebo, and various art objects. The main exhibition of the museum is based on Ivan Kuratov's poem "At Zakhar's," which describes the house of the baker Zakhar, where fourteen of his fellow villagers come, each with their own craft and character: a hunter, carpenter, healer, church clerk, fisherman, and others. These guests are presented in the first hall, called the "Literary Living Room." Ivan Kuratov masterfully depicted each hero, lovingly and humorously describing their activities and personalities. Komi artist Arkady Moshev captured the poet's subtle humor and created illustrations depicting each hero. The wooden sculptures of the literary characters were made by self-taught master Mikhail Serenkov from Vizinga.

The second hall is the poet's study, where the original furniture belonging to a distant relative of the Kuratovs on the maternal side, Maria Alexandrovna Gorinova, is located. On the table are glasses, paper, a pen, an inkwell, a small chest, and a kerosene lamp. It was in such an environment that Ivan Kuratov wrote his poems. On the wall by the window are copies of photographs of the Kuratov family members. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to I. A. Kuratov's poem "Komi Ball," created in collaboration with masters from Vizinga Nikolai Petrovich Brylyakov and Margarita Alexandrovna Yermolina.

The third hall is dedicated to the life and work of Ivan Kuratov, as well as researchers of his literary heritage. The central piece is a bust of the poet, made by Vladislav Mamchenko, a distinguished artist of Russia and laureate of the State Prize of the Komi ASSR. Information about the republican holiday of poetry and folk art "Menam Muza," which takes place annually in the village of Kuratovo in the Sysola district, is also presented here.

The fourth hall represents a living room of a peasant's hut with a red corner, icons, a stove, a cupboard (kitchen cabinet for dishes), sleeping platforms, a cradle, and a weaving loom.

The fifth hall is the entrance hall, where one can see items that were essential for the life of a Komi peasant. Here are tools for hunting and fishing, for baking and carpentry, as well as items necessary for felting wool, cultivating land, harvesting hay, and household items used by the heroes of Ivan Alexeevich Kuratov's works.
