The museum building, built in 1850 by Pärnu Üjjökoolmaja, which in the years 1850-1863 also hosted the J.V. Jannsen home and the 'Perno Postimees' editorial office, is protected as a historical monument.


The main task of the museum is to capture the memory of L. Koidula and JV Jannsen and to introduce through the permanent exposition the life and activities of the land in the context of the wake-up time in Estonia. The museum was opened on July 21, 1945, at a former Pärnu School of Outdoors, which, as early as 1924, marked the marble leaf with the following text: Here lived J. W. Jannsen a.1850-1863 and his daughter Lydia grew up here.


The work of a half-year-long tense work by a researcher Karl Mihkla resulted in a display showing the great poet of the awakening on the background of the environment in which he lived, worked and fought '. The construction of a beauty center was also started. The museum, initially only in the two rooms of Jannsen's home, expanded in two more rooms in 1951, and opened a new exposition in 1959. Already in 1966 it was replaced by a newer one. In 1974, the museum gained possession of the entire former school building. This meant completely new opportunities, one of the most important of which was the fitting out of the Jannsen School. The permanent exhibition made in these years was home to a number of large and small repairs of the premises, and kept up to 22 years with improvements and improvements. This time was valued by the 'Hours of Spirituality in Jannsen Street' - 300 spectacular performances at the Jannsen Classroom, which brought Koidulah to his Pärnu home with thousands of people.


In connection with further repairs, the final quarter of 1998 was also followed by the launch of a new permanent exhibition. After a year, the exhibition was largely completed. The museum opened from an earlier angle from a different angle in the translated sense (new material and design concept), but also in a purely literal sense, as it entered the street door that opens into the classroom. As such, this door is a sign of the past meaning of the house. When the J.V. Jannsen Writing House, which had been a museum's office for many years, had become a historical design, a figurative whole was reached from the eastern school of the Jannsen School.
