The Literary Museum of Piatruś Broŭka is the only memorial flat museum in Belarus.

The Literary Museum of Piatruś Broŭka is located in a house on Karl Marx Street 30. The house was built in the early 20th century in the Art Nouveau style by the architect Henryk Gay. In the fourth flat, from 1951 to 1980, the national poet of Belarus Piatruś Broŭka lived. The poet was born on June 25, 1905, and died on March 24, 1980.

Already on July 10, 1980, the Literary Museum of Piatruś Broŭka was opened in the poet’s former apartment. Among the exhibits are manuscripts and autographs of Piatruś Broŭka, his relatives, friends and contemporaries, typewritten versions of books, letters and postcards, musical manuscripts to the poet's words.

The museum exposition consists of documentary and memorial parts. The documentary part of the exhibition introduces us in detail the life and creative path of Piatruś Broŭka.

The memorial part is the poet’s library and study – the interior where all things and furniture are in place, as in his lifetime. A personal library stores works of fiction from ancient Roman times until 1980. These are books by foreign authors translated into Belarusian or Russian, Belarusian and foreign classical literature.
