Peyo Yavorov house-museum, Chirpan

Peyo Yavorov's house is a museum in Chirpan dedicated to the Bulgarian poet and displaying his living spaces as they were. The building contains a kitchen, living room, and bedroom with his original desk, a collection of books, and personal possessions from his daily life.

The house was converted into a museum in 1954, forty years after the poet's death, to preserve his life and work. This transformation marked an important moment in recognizing his role in Bulgarian literature and making it accessible to the public.

The rooms reflect how Yavorov lived day-to-day and what objects mattered to him personally. The displayed correspondence and photographs give visitors a direct sense of who he was as a person beyond his published work.

The museum is located in central Chirpan and is easy to reach on foot, with clear signage from the town center. The courtyard and exhibition rooms offer enough space to explore comfortably, allowing visitors to move between rooms at their own pace.

In Yavorov's bedroom stands an iron bed with metal bars, showing his actual sleeping place in the house. Hanging on the wall is a portrait of Pushkin that Yavorov himself cut from a Russian magazine, reflecting his admiration for the Russian poet.
