Literary Museum

The Literary Museum is a collection of manuscripts, letters, photographs, and personal objects from Russian writers across different periods. The exhibits are arranged in rooms that show how these authors lived and worked.

The museum was founded in 1928 to preserve Russian literary heritage. Its creation was part of a larger effort to safeguard the country's most important literary works and documents for future generations.

The museum displays work from writers whose lives were deeply connected to this region and whose ideas shaped Russian thought. Through personal objects and manuscripts, visitors can trace how these authors drew inspiration from their surroundings.

The museum offers guided tours with English-speaking staff and a reference library for interested readers. Regular literary events are scheduled throughout the year.

The museum features digital archives that document how Russian literature evolved from its classical roots to contemporary works. These interactive collections allow visitors to discover literary works in new ways.
