"The other house" is a Museum of science fiction, utopia and extraordinary cases. Now he is considered a non-profit Foundation, which operates as a public Museum, and as a specialized research center. Initially it was located in an ordinary apartment of three rooms, and only planned to make it a Museum. In 1989 it was decided to open it in a renovated old jail, a historical building which was built in 1806 and is located in the city center.

The Museum archives contain approximately 70 thousand documents related to science fiction or utopia (books, toys, etc.), including some very old (16th century) and unique things. The Museum's collections are used in iconographic purposes or study (literature, history of ideas, design, etc.). Here you can see figurines of characters from the acclaimed works of "Star wars" - because it is the best documented possible the appearance and life of aliens of various civilizations of the universe. Here you can see portraits of world-famous science fiction writers, from Jules Verne and H. G. wells recognized to modern authors. Their works are also available in the collection "other Home".

In parallel, the Museum annually organizes several temporary exhibitions about the major themes of science fiction (city of the future, space missions). The exhibition is varied and can be organised free of charge in order to attract a wide audience.

"The other house" is the only public institution of its kind in the world.
