Musée Polejaïev, Literary museum in Saransk, Russia.

The Polejaïev Museum occupies a wooden house built at the end of the 19th century for the merchant Semion Timofeievich Mychkin in Saransk. Its permanent exhibition is divided into five sections: three rooms follow Alexander Polejaïev's birth and childhood, his studies in Moscow, and his military service and final years, a fourth is devoted to the writers of Mordovia, and a fifth serves as a literary drawing room for poetry and music evenings and art exhibitions.

The building dates back to the late 1800s and was later restored before becoming the museum it is today. Its opening in 2001 transformed the house into a memorial for the poet and local literary heritage.

The museum bears the name of Alexander Polezhayev, a 19th-century Russian poet, and also covers his contemporaries and the writers of Mordovia. A fifth room serves as a literary drawing room for poetry and music evenings, artist exhibitions and themed events, so the building is used for readings and gatherings, not only for displays.

The museum occupies the wooden house of merchant Semyon Myshkin, built at the end of the 19th century, in central Saransk. Its five halls are small, so groups should arrange a visit in advance. The museum opened on 5 June 2001, timed to the city's 360th anniversary.

The museum preserves portraits of the poet's relatives, including his grandparents, who were connected to a family estate near Saransk. These personal depictions give visitors a window into the poet's family and world beyond his published works.
