In the 1920s, this house belonged to the famous merchant Charles Sikar. It was one of the first hotels in the young city - "Hotel du Nord". After arriving in Odessa on July 3.1823, Pushkin stayed at this hotel and lived there for a month. The street where the great poet lived, formerly called Italian, was renamed in 1880 in Pushkin, and a sign "Pushkin lived here" was placed above the gate.
In 1959, the regional executive committee decided to create a memorial museum of Alexander Pushkin, which was opened two years later. And although the exhibition was originally located in only two halls, the museum from the first days became one of the most visited. His collection was constantly replenished: many famous scientists, writers, collectors passed rare editions of Pushkin's works, paintings and engravings, furniture and household items of the past era.
The museum has expanded significantly over its 50-year history.
A new museum exposition was created for the 200th anniversary of the poet, which most fully reflects the Odessa period of Pushkin’s work, his friendly relations and love hobbies, complex business relationships. The museum has exhibition halls, a series of classes "Pushkin Museum". In front of the entrance to the museum in 1999, a bronze monument to the poet of the Odessa sculptor Alexander Tokarev was erected.
