The chapel on Yekaterininskaya Street (on the territory of the Mytny Market that existed here) was built in memory of the miraculous rescue of the family of Alexander III in a train wreck on October 17, 1888. In Soviet times, the chapel housed a Beekeeping store, a dry cleaning and dyeing workshop. In the late 70s, when the three-story building of the Yaroslavl regional party committee began to be built nearby, they were going to demolish the chapel altogether. However, Yaroslavl architects and city defenders managed to defend the monument.

The basis of the museum is Orlov's collection: Russian and foreign porcelain of the XVIII–XX centuries, cast iron, silver, household items. Porcelain plastic from private Russian factories of Gardner, Kuznetsov, Popov, and Miklashevsky is of particular value.The building of the House of the Society of Doctors itself is also interesting – a federal architectural monument, restored with private funds in 2014-2018. Its appearance recalls the first third of the 19th century, but the history of the mansion is more complicated: its roots date back to the 17th century, and the basement of the building with storage chambers has been preserved from this period.
