The 20th Century Song Museum was opened at a turning point between two centuries in the ancestral home of the Fatyanov family, located in the center of Vyazniki. This house was built in the early 20th century by Ivan Nikolayevich Fatyanov, the father of Alexey Fatyanov.

On the first floor of the house was the Fatyanov trading house, and on the second, the city's first home cinema. In 1918, the building was nationalized, and from 1922 to 1929, the Fatyanov family continued to live in this house. The facade of the building faced Sobornaya Square, where the Kazan Cathedral ensemble was located. During those years, the house became a center of cultural life in the city. Later, the Fatyanov family was forced to leave the city, and during the Soviet era, various institutions were housed in the building: a district library, a cultural center, and a telephone exchange. For some time, the building fell into disrepair. Restoring the Fatyanov house became a matter of honor for the residents of Vyazniki. An initiative group of cultural workers, local historians, and historians who valued the name of Fatyanov was formed. By the decree of the city head, the restored building opened the 20th Century Song Museum.

The Song Museum has a living room, a Small Hall, a memorial hall, and a Large Exhibition Hall. Annually replenishing its collections, the museum creates exhibitions dedicated to the song creativity of 20th century Russia. Its halls host meetings with famous performers, concerts, festivals, competitions, and presentations. The museum was created in honor of the song culture of the Russian people and collects documents reflecting the glorious pages of the history of song art. It is a member of the Association of Museums of Russia and the Association of Musical Museums of Russia and is open for cooperation with all who go through life with a song.
