The building was owned by the Nobel brothers until 1920. Before a house museum was opened in the building, it functioned as a hospital and later as an orphanage.
Today, the museum exhibits various household items used by the Nobel family, as well as displays reflecting that period. In addition to the house's own belongings, items brought here from the Nobels’ houses in St. Petersburg and Sweden can also be found.
