The Museum was opened on August 30, 1992. The building was constructed in 1935 by Omelyan Franko, the nephew of Ivan Franko.
The museum’s exhibition halls and archives preserve letters, family documents, household items, clothing, and paintings. The exhibits are displayed across seven rooms.
The first room presents the life and creative path of Ivan Franko. Here you’ll find photographs from his childhood, student years, and adulthood, as well as items that tell the story of the Pidgirky neighborhood (a district of Kalush) and the Franko family, who moved there in 1904. A highlight is the Franko family tree and paintings by Taras Franko.
The second room features materials about Onufriy Franko's family in Pidgirky and Antin Mohylnytskyi — a priest and poet. This room also includes a corner dedicated to Hryhoriy Smolskyi, a painter and writer.
The third room showcases original items from the family of Onufriy Franko (Ivan Franko’s brother), including a unique collection of embroideries and household objects.
The fourth room houses a 1956 print collection commemorating the 100th anniversary of Ivan Franko.
The remaining three rooms, opened in the museum’s attic space after major renovations in 2016, display a rare grand piano and antique household items preserved since the relocation of Onufriy Franko's family.
