Museum of Konstantin Fedin in Saratov, Literary museum in Saratov, Russia.
The Museum of Konstantin Fedin is a literary museum housed in a two-story building at 154 Chernyshevsky Street, displaying manuscripts, personal items, and photographs of the Russian author. The rooms also showcase works from his contemporaries and influential figures across periods of modern Russian literature.
The museum opened on 27 June 1981 in one of Saratov's oldest buildings, an 18th-century architectural monument. In 1899–1901 the future writer Konstantin Fedin studied at the Sretenskoye primary school housed there. His daughter Nina Fedina donated his materials, and over thirty years the collection grew to more than 60,000 items.
The permanent exhibition presents works by Konstantin Fedin alongside contributions from other writers such as Blok, Tsvetaeva, and Bulgakov, reflecting his literary environment. Visitors can explore the Russian literary landscape of the 20th century through these displays.
The museum is open on weekdays but closed on Mondays for planned maintenance. Guided tours are primarily available in Russian and cover both the permanent collection and rotating temporary exhibitions.
The building itself is the oldest structure in the museum's story: an 18th-century architectural monument where Fedin studied at the Sretenskoye elementary school from 1899 to 1901. The collection grew from his daughter Nina's gift into more than 60,000 items over three decades, and in 2011 two museum projects won a Russian Humanitarian Science Foundation grant.
