Main Museum Building
The museum building (Kommunisticheskaya St., 61) consisted of two buildings. The western, older building (architect V.I. Sologub, engineers V.I. Borisov, E.A.

In the fall of 2001 , on the eve of the 125th anniversary of the birth of Erzi, the museum buildings were reconstructed, which greatly improved their appearance.
