The estate of Mickiewicz family, the place where Yakub Kolas created his literary works and images of the main characters became a museum of the Belarusian classic.
Kolas first came to Smolnya in 1911 after his arrest. Yanka Kupala, his friend and companion, also a classic, first came here in the summer of 1912.
Tourists even from Ethiopia and Argentina come to Kolas places. In the jubilee year of the classic such a cultural pilgrimage is not nonsense. Delegations, flowers and the bronze Colas remind us that the main monument is the one contained in his books.
