Salawat Yulayev Museum, National hero memorial museum in Maloyaz, Russia

The Salawat Yulayev Museum is a memorial institution in Maloyaz dedicated to documenting the life of the Bashkir resistance leader from the 18th century. The collection includes personal items, written records, and clothing from his era.

The museum traces its roots to a local history corner founded on 15 September 1965 at the Alkino school by Tarkhan Zagidullin and Abuzar Sayfullin. In 1975 it became a museum in Maloyaz, in 1984 it was named a people's museum, and in 1987 it joined the National Museum of Bashkortostan as a branch. The current building opened on 15 June 1991, with Khatmulla Gafarov as its first director.

The museum preserves works that shaped Salawat Yulayev as a poet and writer, keeping his importance in Bashkir culture alive. Visitors can discover traditional poetry and stories that are still told in the region today.

The museum is located on Soviet Street and is easily reached on foot; visitors should arrive early to go through the entire collection at a leisurely pace. Guided visits are offered in Russian and Bashkir to help visitors understand the displayed objects.

Six bronze figures ring the building, named "Struggle", "Call", "Freedom", "Farewell", "Song" and "Memory". The architect and the project's author received the Salawat Yulayev State Prize of Bashkortostan in 1992. The museum holds over 3,000 items, and its branch in Alkino has 200 exhibits on Salawat's childhood.
