Boblovo, Historical museum-estate in Klinsky District, Russia

Boblovo is a country estate museum in Klinsky District, Moscow Oblast, dedicated to the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. The property consists of several historic buildings, including a residential house and a laboratory, set within a landscaped park.

In 1865 Mendeleev and Professor N. P. Ilyin bought the Boblovo estate together; by lot Mendeleev received the old mansion and orchard, Ilyin the wings and park. Mendeleev spent summers there until 1906, rebuilding the house with a laboratory. In 1919 peasants burned the house; the museum opened in 1987 in the surviving early 19th-century Ilyin-Smirnov stone building.

The estate's name comes from Boblovaya Gora, the hill where it stands above the Lutosnya River. Since the 1990s the surviving early 19th-century Ilyin-Smirnov house has hosted exhibitions on Mendeleev's life, his family and his work as an encyclopaedist, showing his laboratory table, travel chest and a suitcase he made himself.

The museum sits in a village outside Klin and is easiest to reach by private car, as public transport connections are limited. Nearly all labels and information on site are in Russian only, so it helps to prepare in advance.

The 1887 balloon flight was launched from the town of Klin, not from Boblovo itself. The painter Ilya Repin came to Boblovo to watch Mendeleev's ascent during the solar eclipse. In 1899 a receiver in the Boblovo house picked up radio signals sent by Alexander Popov from a neighbouring village.
