Hello,
Unfortunately, in 2001 Nabokov family country estate at Vyra was set on
the fire by an unknown and the great part of exhibits was reduced to
ashes. I think that the bulding is still in scaffolding.

EDNOTE. It is true that part of the Vyra manor suffered a fire some years ago. I
am happy to say that it has been substantially (but not completely) restored. I
have been in the building before the fire, not long after and most recently
last August. It is now, in many respects, in better shape than before the fire.
